U+A31F "ꌟ" Yi Syllable Sux Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A31F "ꌟ" Yi Syllable Sux is a specific logographic symbol used in the modern Yi script, which was standardized in the 1970s based on the northern dialect of the Liangshan Yi language (Nuosu) in southwestern China. This character represents a distinct syllable in the Yi phonetic system, providing a visual representation for the spoken sound "sux" within the language's syllabic writing system. Unlike an alphabetic script, each Yi syllable character like sux denotes both a consonant and a vowel together, contributing to the precise recording of Nuosu speech in literature, education, and official documentation within the Yi autonomous regions of Sichuan and Yunnan.
