Unicode Version 17.0
ðž„›
U+1E11B "ðž„›" Nyiakeng Puachue Hmong Letter Xya is a specific glyph from the Nyiakeng Puachue Hmong script, which was created in the 20th century by Reverend Chervang Kong to write the Hmong language, particularly the White Hmong dialect. This script is designed to be visually distinct from other writing systems, using a combination of consonant and vowel symbols arranged in a unique syllable block structure. The letter "Xya" itself represents a particular consonant sound within that syllabary, contributing to the representation of Hmong phonetics in a system that is now encoded in the Unicode Standard to preserve digital accessibility for the Hmong community.
