U+A389 "ꎉ" Yi Syllable Rrux Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꎉ
U+A389 "ꎉ" Yi Syllable Rrux is a glyph from the Yi script, specifically representing a syllable used in the modern standard form of the Yi language, also known as Nuosu, which is spoken by the Yi ethnic group in southwestern China. This character, part of the Yi Syllables block, corresponds to a phonological unit pronounced as "rrux" in the romanized Yi writing system, where the final "x" denotes a specific tone, typically the third or falling tone, essential for distinguishing meaning in this tonal language. Encoded in Unicode to support digital preservation and communication of Yi texts, "ꎉ" exemplifies the script's structured adaptation from a traditional logographic system into a standardized, syllabic script in the 20th century.
