U+A363 "ꍣ" Yi Syllable Cha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꍣ
U+A363 "ꍣ" Yi Syllable Cha is a specific glyph used in the modern Yi script, which was standardized in the 1970s for writing the Yi language spoken by the Yi people of southwestern China. This character represents the syllable pronounced "cha" in the standard Liangshan dialect, where each syllable is written with a distinct character rather than through an alphabet. As part of the Yi Syllables block in Unicode, it enables digital encoding and processing of this non Latin based writing system, supporting cultural preservation and communication. The character's appearance can vary by font but typically features a curved or angular shape consistent with Yi script design.
