U+A140 "ꅀ" Yi Syllable Ddap Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꅀ
U+A140 "ꅀ" Yi Syllable Ddap is part of the Yi Syllables block, which encodes the standard syllabary of the Nuosu language, a major variety of the Yi (or Lolo) language spoken primarily in Sichuan, China. This specific character represents a syllable pronounced as "ddap," and its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital representation and processing of the Nuosu script, which was traditionally written with the classic Yi script but was standardized into a modern syllabary used in education and publications. The character is used in written Nuosu to contribute to the preservation and modern communication of the language and culture of the Yi people.
