U+A3EC "ꏬ" Yi Syllable Jot Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꏬ
U+A3EC "ꏬ" Yi Syllable Jot is a character from the Yi Syllables block, specifically representing a syllable in the modern standardized Yi script used for the Nuosu language, a member of the Yi language family spoken primarily in southwestern China. This character corresponds to the phonetic value "jot" and is one of many syllabic glyphs that form the writing system for Nuosu, where each character represents an entire syllable rather than an individual phoneme. As part of the Yi Syllables range (U+A000 to U+A48C), its inclusion in Unicode supports the digital preservation and communication of this tonal language, which relies on distinct characters for different tones and vowel combinations.
