U+A0B7 "ꂷ" Yi Syllable Ma is a glyph representing a specific syllable within the modern Yi script, which is used to write the Yi languages spoken primarily in southwestern China, particularly in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. This character corresponds to the pronunciation "ma" and is part of the Yi script's syllabary, a writing system standardized in the 1970s to preserve and promote the linguistic heritage of the Yi ethnic minority.
