U+A175 "ꅵ" Yi Syllable Hnuo is a character from the Yi script syllabary, which was standardized in the modern Yi language used in parts of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in China. This specific syllable, pronounced as "hnuo" in the Liangshan dialect, represents a nasalized sound that begins with a voiceless aspirated alveolar lateral approximant, a distinctive feature of the Yi phonological system. The character is part of the range of Yi syllables assigned to encode the written form of the Nuosu language, where the script was revitalized in the late 20th century to support literacy and cultural preservation.
