U+A20E "ꈎ" Yi Syllable Kut Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꈎ
U+A20E "ꈎ" Yi Syllable Kut is part of the Yi Syllables block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in version 3.0 to support the written form of the Nuosu (or Northern Yi) language, spoken primarily in Sichuan province, China. This specific character represents a syllable pronounced /ku̠t/ with a low or mid level tone, and its use preserves the distinct phonetic and orthographic system of the modern Yi script, which was standardized in the 1970s and 1980s. Like other Yi syllable characters, ꈎ reflects a one to one mapping between a written symbol and a spoken syllable, allowing Nuosu speakers to read and write their language with precision using digital text.
