U+A09F "ꂟ" Yi Syllable Hmot Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A09F "ꂟ" Yi Syllable Hmot is part of the Yi Syllables block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to encode the Modern Yi script used for the Yi language spoken primarily in southwestern China and officially known as Nuosu. This specific character represents the syllable "hmot" and, like all Yi syllable characters, is composed of a radical (or "head") element that indicates the initial consonant sound combined with a graphical structure that conveys the vowel and tone. In the standardized Yi script, Hmot does not denote a universal lexical meaning by itself but functions within the syllabary system to form words in Nuosu, where it contributes to the written representation of spoken language. Its encoding ensures that digital text can accurately preserve the Nuosu writing system, which was standardized in the 1970s based on the Liangshan dialect.
