Unicode Version 17.0
ꈫ
U+A22B "ꈫ" Yi Syllable Ggux is part of the Yi Syllables block, which encodes the modern standardized script of the Yi language, used primarily by the Yi ethnic group in southwestern China. This specific syllable represents the sound "ggux" in the Yi phonetic system, where the tone is indicated by the final consonant "x" in the romanization, marking a specific low-rising or similar tonal pattern. The character design reflects a distinct, angular stroke pattern typical of the modern Yi script, which was derived from a classical logographic system and standardized in the 1970s. Its inclusion in Unicode supports digital communication and preservation of the Yi language across modern platforms.
