U+A407 "ꐇ" Yi Syllable Quop Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A407 "ꐇ" Yi Syllable Quop is a specific syllable from the modern Yi script, also known as Nuosu, which is used to write the Yi languages spoken primarily in southwestern China. This character represents a phonetic syllable pronounced "quop" in the standard Liangshan Yi dialect, where it is part of the writing system's extensive syllabary designed to capture the tonal and consonantal distinctions of the language. Coded in the Unicode Yi Syllables block, the glyph and its usage are supported by the foundational work of the standardized Yi script, which was codified in the 1970s and later adopted into the Unicode Standard to facilitate digital representation and preserve this minority language's written heritage. As a result, "ꐇ" functions both as a practical tool for modern Yi speakers and as a symbolic element in the ongoing effort to document and promote linguistic diversity.
