U+31AB "ㆫ" Bopomofo Letter Unn Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+31AB "ㆫ" Bopomofo Letter Unn is a specialized phonetic symbol used in the Bopomofo (Zhuyin Fuhao) system, primarily employed in Taiwanese Mandarin education and some linguistic transcriptions to represent the sound of a nasalized final vowel, often corresponding to a closed front rounded or unrounded nasal in certain dialects or historical contexts. Unlike the more common Bopomofo characters, this letter is less frequently encountered in standard modern Mandarin but appears in extended phonetic notation for Minnan and Hakka languages, or in early Mandarin phonetic notation. Visually, the character resembles a stylized arc or hook with a small dot, distinguishing it from similar Bopomofo letters, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures accurate digital representation and preservation of these diverse phonetic traditions.
