U+A01B "ꀛ" Yi Syllable Biex Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A01B "ꀛ" Yi Syllable Biex is a character from the Yi script, a syllabary used primarily for writing the Nuosu language, a member of the Lolo-Burmese branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family spoken by the Yi people in southwestern China. This specific character represents the syllable "biex," with the final letter "x" indicating a particular tone, likely a low or rising tone, as part of the standardized modern Yi syllabary that was codified in 1980 by the Chinese government. The character is a distinct logograph, not a composite of letters, and is used in written Nuosu to form words, such as appearing in the word "ꀛꃆ" meaning "not have."
