U+A0A1 "ꂡ" Yi Syllable Hmo Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A0A1 "ꂡ" Yi Syllable Hmo is part of the Yi Syllables block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to support the modern standardized script of the Yi language, also known as Nuosu, spoken primarily in the Liangshan region of southwestern China. This specific character represents a phonetic syllable pronounced as "hmo" in Yi, where each syllable in the script is a distinct logogram representing a unique combination of sound and tone. The Yi script was historically a pictographic system but was reformed in the 20th century into a standardized syllabary, with U+A0A1 being one of over 1,200 such encoded syllables used for writing the Nuosu language today.
