U+A2B6 "ꊶ" Yi Syllable Cat Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꊶ
U+A2B6 "ꊶ" Yi Syllable Cat is a specific glyph from the Yi script, which is used to write the Yi language, an official language of the Yi ethnic minority in China. This character represents a distinctive syllable in the Yi phonetic system, with its sound value corresponding roughly to "cat" in the standard Yi romanization, though it does not mean "cat" in the English sense. The Yi script is a syllabary, meaning each character denotes a single syllable, and this particular code point is part of the Unicode block dedicated to the modern standardized Yi script, which was encoded in Unicode version 3.0 in 1999 to support digital communication and preservation of the language.
