U+A21D "ꈝ" Yi Syllable Ggap Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꈝ
U+A21D "ꈝ" Yi Syllable Ggap is a single syllable from the Yi script, which is used primarily to write the Nuosu language spoken in southwestern China. This specific character represents the syllable "ggap," and its pronunciation conforms to the standard tonal and syllabic rules of the Yi writing system, which was standardized in the 1970s as a syllabary. The character is part of the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, but in the Yi Syllables block within Unicode, it serves as a crucial element for graphically reproducing the distinctive sounds of the Nuosu dialect.
