U+A025 "ꀥ" Yi Syllable Bot Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A025 "ꀥ" Yi Syllable Bot is a specific glyph from the Yi script, which is used to write the Yi languages spoken primarily in the Liangshan region of southwestern China, particularly in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. This character represents a syllable in the standardized Modern Yi syllabary, where each unique symbol corresponds to a distinct phonological unit, in this case the sound "bot." The Yi script was traditionally logographic but was reformed in the 1970s into a modern syllabary of about 800 characters, with U+A025 being one of many encoded in the Unicode Standard to support digital text representation of the language. The character resembles a stylized, angular shape typical of Yi calligraphy and is part of the broader Unicode block for Yi syllables, which preserves the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Yi people.
