U+19BF "ᦿ" New Tai Lue Vowel Sign Uey is a diacritic mark used in the New Tai Lue script, which is employed for writing the Tai Lü language primarily spoken by the Tai Lü people in southern China, Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. This vowel sign represents a specific vowel sound, often transcribed as "uey" or similar, and combines with a base consonant character to modify its pronunciation. Unlike a standalone letter, it is a combining mark that attaches visually to the preceding consonant in written text.
