Unicode Version 17.0
ðš¿°
U+1AFF0 "ðš¿°" Katakana Letter Minnan Tone-2 is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode standard, introduced in version 14.0 in 2021. It is part of a specialized block of extended katakana characters used to represent the tonal distinctions of the Minnan language, also known as Hokkien, when written in katakana script. This specific character indicates the second tone of Minnan, which is a high falling tone in the traditional Tai Lo romanization system. Its inclusion facilitates more precise digital representation of Minnan phonetics, supporting linguistic documentation and communication in contexts where katakana is employed for phonetic transcription of the language.
