U+A3ED "ꏭ" Yi Syllable Jox Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꏭ
U+A3ED "ꏭ" Yi Syllable Jox is a character from the Yi script, specifically used in the modern standardized Yi language of China, where it represents the syllable pronounced as "jox" in the Nuosu dialect. This script was officially codified in the 1980s to replace the traditional logographic Yi writing system with a syllabary that accurately reflects the tonal nature of the language. The character itself is part of a larger Unicode block (U+A000 to U+A48F) dedicated to the Yi syllables, enabling digital text processing and preservation of this minority language's writing system.
