Unicode Version 17.0
𚿵
U+1AFF5 "𚿵" Katakana Letter Minnan Tone-7 is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode Standard, introduced in version 15.0 to support the transcription of Taiwanese Hokkien (Minnan) using a specialized katakana-based script. Specifically, this character represents a katakana letter that denotes the seventh tone in the Minnan tonal system, which is a high falling tone in the traditional eight tone classification. It belongs to the Katakana Extended A block and is distinct from standard Japanese katakana, designed to accurately represent the phonetic and tonal nuances of the Minnan language as used in Taiwanese linguistic contexts.
