Unicode Version 17.0
ꃁ
U+A0C1 "ꃁ" Yi Syllable Mex is a specific glyph from the Yi script, which is used to write the Yi languages spoken primarily in southwestern China. This character represents a single syllable in the standardized Yi syllabary, with "Mex" denoting its pronunciation. The Yi script, traditionally a logographic system, was standardized in the 1970s to create a syllabary containing over 800 characters, where each character corresponds to a distinct syllable. U+A0C1 is thus part of this modern syllabary, used in written communication, cultural preservation, and educational materials for Yi-speaking communities.
