Unicode Version 17.0
ꊾ
U+A2BE "ꊾ" Yi Syllable Cox is part of the Yi Syllables block, which encodes characters from the modern Standard Yi script used to write the Nuosu language of southwestern China. This specific syllable, pronounced "cox" in the Liangshan dialect, represents a distinct phonetic unit in the tonal system of Yi, where each syllable character carries an inherent tone indicated by its unique glyph. The Yi script, standardized in the 1970s, is syllabic and logographic, with over 800 syllables encoded in Unicode to preserve and digitally support this minority language. The character "ꊾ" thus serves as a vital tool for writing and communicating in Nuosu.
