U+A2B3 "ꊳ" Yi Syllable Ciex Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A2B3 "ꊳ" Yi Syllable Ciex is a glyph from the Yi script, specifically part of the modern standardized Yi syllabary used to write the Nuosu language spoken in China. It represents the syllable pronounced "ciex," where the final "x" indicates a particular tone, the low-rising tone, within the Nuosu tonal system. This character is encoded in the Unicode Yi Syllables block, which covers the syllabic writing system developed in the 1970s to replace the traditional, largely logographic Yi script. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital text in Nuosu and related languages can be accurately displayed and exchanged across modern computing platforms.
