U+A20C "ꈌ" Yi Syllable Ke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꈌ
U+A20C "ꈌ" Yi Syllable Ke is a character from the Yi script, specifically used in the Liangshan Standard Yi language to represent the syllable pronounced as "ke." This script, known as Nuosu or Yi, is primarily used by the Yi ethnic group in southwestern China and was standardized in the 1970s to unify various regional dialects. The character "ꈌ" is part of a syllabary system rather than an alphabet, with each symbol corresponding to a specific syllable and tone, though this particular instance does not carry a tone marker in its encoding. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital text and modern communications can accurately preserve and transmit this unique linguistic heritage.
