U+A33C "ꌼ" Yi Syllable Ssut Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꌼ
U+A33C "ꌼ" Yi Syllable Ssut is part of the Yi Syllables block, which was encoded in Unicode version 3.0 to represent the standardized Liangshan dialect of the Yi language, also known as Nuosu, spoken primarily in Sichuan, China. This specific character, ꌼ, denotes the syllable pronounced as "ssut" and is one of many syllabic symbols that make up the modern Yi script. Unlike an alphabet or logographic system, each Yi syllable character represents a distinct phonetic syllable, and "ssut" likely carries a specific meaning within the Nuosu lexicon, contributing to the written preservation of this minority language.
