U+A2B1 "ꊱ" Yi Syllable Cip Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꊱ
U+A2B1 "ꊱ" Yi Syllable Cip is part of the Yi Syllables block, which encodes the standard syllabary for the modern Yi language, also known as Nuosu, spoken primarily in the Liangshan region of China. This specific character represents the syllable pronounced as "cip" and, like all Yi syllables, is used in written Nuosu to convey distinct lexical and grammatical meanings within the language's unique script, which was standardized in the 1970s and 1980s to replace an older, more complex writing system. The character is composed of a distinctive, angular Yi glyph and serves as a functional unit in the everyday transcription of Yi texts, literature, and official communications.
