U+A255 "ꉕ" Yi Syllable Hxuop is a character in the Yi script, a writing system used primarily for the Nuosu language spoken by the Yi people of southwestern China. This specific character represents a syllable pronounced as "hxuop," and it is part of the modern standardized Yi syllabary that was formally encoded in the Unicode Standard to support digital preservation and typing of the language.
