Unicode Version 17.0
𞋁
U+1E2C1 "𞋁" Wancho Letter A is a glyph from the Wancho script, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2018 as part of version 11.0 to support the endangered Wancho language spoken by the Wancho Naga people in the northeastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. This character represents the vowel sound "a" and plays a fundamental role in writing the language, which uses an alphabet developed in the 1950s by indigenous community members to preserve their unique linguistic heritage. Its inclusion in Unicode helps ensure that Wancho can be digitally represented, used in electronic texts, and transmitted across modern computing platforms, aiding in revitalization efforts for this minority language.
