U+1E2A4 "𞊤" Toto Letter Breathy Iu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𞊤
U+1E2A4 "𞊤" Toto Letter Breathy Iu is a specific glyph used in the Toto script, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2021 as part of the Toto block (U+1E290 to U+1E2BF). This character represents a breathy vowel sound in the Toto language, spoken by the Toto people in the eastern Himalayan region of India, particularly in West Bengal. The letter is classified as a vowel and is distinct from other characters in the script due to its breathy phonation, a subtle but significant feature that differentiates meaning in the language. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent the Toto writing system, which has seen a revival in recent years through community efforts and educational materials.
