U+19C5 "ᧅ" New Tai Lue Letter Final K Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+19C5 "ᧅ" New Tai Lue Letter Final K is a glyph used in the New Tai Lue script, which is employed to write the Tai Lue language primarily spoken in parts of China, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand. This character represents a final consonant sound, specifically the unaspirated velar plosive /k/, that appears at the end of a syllable, distinguishing it from initial consonant forms in the script. The New Tai Lue alphabet was developed in the 1950s as a reformed version of the older Tai Tham script to aid literacy, and U+19C5 plays a key role in accurately transcribing the phonology of the language where syllable-final consonants are an important feature.
