U+A109 "ꄉ" Yi Syllable Da Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꄉ
U+A109 "ꄉ" Yi Syllable Da is a specific character from the Unicode Standard's Yi Syllables block, which was encoded to represent the written form of the Yi language, primarily spoken by the Yi ethnic group in China. This character corresponds to the syllable "da" in the standardized Yi script, known as Nuosu or Liangshan Yi, and it is used in modern Yi writing for both literary and everyday communication. Unlike the more common Latin alphabet, this script is a syllabary, meaning each character stands for a distinct syllable, and U+A109 is one of many such glyphs that help preserve and digitize the Yi language's unique phonetic and cultural identity.
