U+312D "ㄭ" Bopomofo Letter Ih Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ㄭ
U+312D "ㄭ" Bopomofo Letter Ih is a specialized phonetic symbol used in the Bopomofo (Zhuyin Fuhao) system, primarily for transcribing Mandarin Chinese. It represents a closed, unrounded vowel sound that occurs in certain dialectal or historical pronunciations, often corresponding to the "ih" sound in linguistic contexts. Unlike the more common Bopomofo letters, which are widely used in Taiwanese education and input methods, "ㄭ" is rare and appears mainly in academic or detailed phonetic notation. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures compatibility for linguists and scholars needing precise representation of less common Chinese phonetic variations.
