U+A2E0 "ꋠ" Yi Syllable Zze Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A2E0 "ꋠ" Yi Syllable Zze is a specific glyph within the Yi Syllables block, which was added to the Unicode standard as part of version 3.0 in 1999 to support the constructed Yi script used for writing the Nuosu language of the Yi people in China. This character represents a distinct syllable in the Nuosu phonological system, with "Zze" indicating a particular consonant sound combined with a vowel, and its usage is primarily confined to literary and official contexts within the Nuosu-speaking regions. The inclusion of this character reflects the broader effort to encode the complete set of 1,164 standardized Yi syllables, each corresponding to a unique combination of a consonant and a vowel sound, as part of a modern standardized script that replaced the traditional logographic Yi writing.
