U+1E106 "𞄆" Nyiakeng Puachue Hmong Letter Xa is a specific glyph from the Nyiakeng Puachue Hmong script, which was created in the 20th century by Reverend Cher Leng Thao for writing the Hmong language. This character represents the consonant sound "Xa" and is part of a writing system designed to accurately transcribe the phonetics of the Hmong Daw and Mong Njua dialects. The script features distinct visual forms and is used primarily within Hmong communities in Southeast Asia and the diaspora, particularly for religious, educational, and cultural purposes. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent this modern script for global communication.
