Unicode Version 17.0

U+A137 "ꄷ" Yi Syllable Ddix is a character from the Yi script, specifically representing a syllable used in the Liangshan Standard Yi language, a Lolo-Burmese language spoken primarily in Sichuan, China. It is part of the Yi Syllables block, which was added to Unicode in version 3.0 to support the modern standardized writing system for the Nuosu Yi people. The syllable "ddix" corresponds to a specific phonetic sound in the language, with its romanization following the standard transcription rules for Yi, where voicing and tone are indicated through suffix letters like "x" for a low tone. This character helps preserve and digitize a unique writing system that was standardized by the Chinese government in the 1970s based on the traditional Yi script.
