Unicode Version 17.0
ꉊ
U+A24A "ꉊ" Yi Syllable Hxiet is part of the Yi script, which is used to write the Nuosu language spoken by the Yi people primarily in southwestern China, particularly in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. This specific syllable represents the sound "hxiet" and is one of many characters in the Yi Syllables block, which was added to Unicode in version 3.0 to support the standardized Liangshan Yi writing system. The character is built from a primary consonant shape combined with a diacritic or modifier to indicate its unique tone and vowel quality, reflecting the syllabic nature of the script where each character corresponds to a distinct syllable in the Nuosu language.
