U+31A4 "ㆤ" Bopomofo Letter Ee Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+31A4 "ㆤ" Bopomofo Letter Ee is a phonetic symbol used in the Bopomofo (or Zhuyin Fuhao) system, which is a set of characters employed primarily in Taiwan to represent the sounds of Mandarin Chinese. This particular character corresponds to the vowel sound "ee" or [e] in phonetic notation, similar to the pronunciation of the vowel in the English word "may" but without the off-glide. It is distinct from other Bopomofo symbols that represent different vowel sounds and is used in combination with initial consonants to form complete syllables. In modern standard Mandarin, the Bopomofo letter Ee is less common than some other vowel symbols, but it remains an essential component of the system for accurately transcribing certain sounds in educational materials and keyboard input methods.
