U+1AEA "" Combining Upwards Arrow Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1AEA "" Combining Upwards Arrow Above is a combining diacritical mark designed to be placed over another character to indicate a specific phonetic or tonal modification, most commonly used in the Tai Tham script (also known as Lanna or Old Tai Lue) for languages such as Northern Thai or Tai Lue. Its primary function is to denote a rising or upward intonation pattern, acting as a visual marker for tone in these Southeast Asian writing systems. As a combining character, it does not stand alone but is intended to attach directly to a base consonant or vowel symbol, adjusting its position relative to the preceding character. This glyph is an essential component for accurately representing the tonal distinctions that are critical for meaning in the languages that employ the Tai Tham script.
