U+A180 "ꆀ" Yi Syllable Nip Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꆀ
U+A180 "ꆀ" Yi Syllable Nip is a character from the Yi script, specifically representing the syllable "nip" as used in the standardized Modern Yi language. This syllabic writing system, which is distinct from the logographic Chinese characters, was officially adopted in the 1970s to transcribe the Liangshan dialect of Yi spoken primarily in Sichuan province, China. The character itself is composed of a curved horizontal line atop a vertical stroke, and its form, like all Yi syllables, corresponds directly to a specific sound rather than a meaning, with the syllable "nip" carrying lexical significance in words related to concepts such as "heart" or "mind" in the Yi language.
