U+A098 "ꂘ" Yi Syllable Hmat Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꂘ
U+A098 "ꂘ" Yi Syllable Hmat is a character from the modern Yi script specifically representing a syllable in the standardized Yi language of China. It is part of the Yi Syllables block, which encompasses a vast range of characters used to write the Liangshan dialect of the Yi language. This particular character corresponds to the sound "hmat," and in the Nuosu Yi syllabary system, it functions as a logographic or syllabic unit rather than an alphabetic letter. Defined formally within the Unicode Standard since version 3.0, it enables accurate digital representation and textual processing for Yi language content.
