Unicode Version 17.0

𞄎

U+1E10E "𞄎" Nyiakeng Puachue Hmong Letter Ka is a specific letter within the Nyiakeng Puachue Hmong script, which was designed for writing the Hmong language, particularly the Hmong Daw and Mong Njua dialects. This script was created by Reverend Cherzong Vang in the 1980s as an alternative to the Romanized Popular Alphabet (RPA) and other writing systems, aiming to better represent the phonetic and tonal characteristics of Hmong speech. The letter Ka corresponds to the sound /k/ and is one of the many consonants in the Nyiakeng Puachue alphabet, used in religious texts, educational materials, and cultural documents by the Hmong community. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for digital representation and preservation of this writing system across modern technology.
