Unicode Version 17.0
ꁕ
U+A055 "ꁕ" Yi Syllable Pyr is part the Yi script, a syllabary historically used to write the Yi languages of southwestern China, and it was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Yi Syllables block. This specific character represents the syllable pronounced as "pyr," with the tone typically indicated by a diacritic or context in the Yi writing system, though the Unicode name itself does not specify tone. While not a commonly encountered character outside of specialized linguistic or digital text encoding contexts, it serves to preserve and digitally represent a specific phonetic unit in the rich linguistic heritage of the Yi people.
