Unicode Version 17.0
ꀀ
U+A000 "ꀀ" Yi Syllable It is the first character in the Yi Syllables block, representing a syllable from the standardized Modern Yi language used primarily by the Yi people in southwestern China. This particular glyph corresponds to the syllable pronounced as "it" in the Yi phonetic system. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitize the Nuosu script, which was unified in the 1970s to support education and communication in the Yi region. As the starting point of a dedicated block containing over a thousand such syllables, this character plays a foundational role in ensuring the written form of the Yi language can be accurately represented on computers and digital devices worldwide.
