Unicode Version 17.0
ðž„€
U+1E100 "ðž„€" Nyiakeng Puachue Hmong Letter Ma is the first letter of the Nyiakeng Puachue Hmong script, an alphabet created in the 1980s by Reverend Chervang Kong to write the Hmong language, specifically the White Hmong and Green Hmong dialects spoken by diaspora communities. This character represents the consonant sound "m" and is part of a modern writing system that uses distinct glyphs for tones, making it distinct from the older Romanized Popular Alphabet (RPA). The script was added to Unicode in version 12.0 in 2019, helping to preserve and digitally represent Hmong cultural heritage.
