U+1AFFB "ðš¿»" Katakana Letter Minnan Nasalized Tone-5 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1AFFB "𚿻" Katakana Letter Minnan Nasalized Tone-5 is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode standard, introduced in 2022 as part of the Katakana Extended-B block to support the phonetic transcription of Southern Min (Hokkien) dialects. This specific character represents a voiced, nasalized tone-5 sound, traditionally marked in romanization with a circumflex or tilde, and is used to differentiate syllabic nuances in linguistic and scholarly contexts. Its design is based on a standard katakana letter, often resembling a modified "マ" or "ン", with a diacritical mark indicating the nasalized tone. The inclusion of this character facilitates more accurate digital representation of Minnan language materials, aiding in language documentation, education, and digital communication.
