Unicode Version 17.0
ꂥ
U+A0A5 "ꂥ" Yi Syllable Hmu is part of the Yi Syllables block, which encodes the traditional script of the Yi language spoken primarily in southwestern China. This particular character represents a syllable pronounced as "hmu" and is used in the Nuosu dialect of Yi to denote a specific phonetic sound within the language's writing system. Historically, the Yi script was standardized in the 1970s based on the Liangshan dialect, with each syllable symbol corresponding to a single character in the modern syllabary. While the syllable "hmu" does not carry an independent lexical meaning, it serves as a building block for words in Yi, contributing to the rich oral and written traditions of the Yi people.
