U+A40D "ꐍ" Yi Syllable Qux Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A40D "ꐍ" Yi Syllable Qux is part of the Yi script, a standardized syllabary used to write the Nuosu language (a member of the Loloish branch of the Tibeto-Burman family) in the Liangshan region of China. This specific character represents the syllable "qux," where the letter "x" indicates a particular tone (typically the low falling or creaky tone in Nuosu). It belongs to the "Yi Syllables" block of Unicode, which contains 1,165 characters that codify the modern standardized version of the Yi script adopted in the 1970s. The glyph is composed of strokes that resemble a horizontal line with a descending curl, typical of the script's simplified, angular appearance. In everyday use, this character appears in written Nuosu for words, names, and traditional narratives, helping preserve the linguistic and cultural identity of the Yi people.
