U+A456 "ꑖ" Yi Syllable Nyox Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꑖ
U+A456 "ꑖ" Yi Syllable Nyox is part of the Yi Syllables block in the Unicode standard, specifically representing a syllable in the modern Yi script, which is used to write the Yi language spoken primarily in southwestern China. This character corresponds to the phonetic value "nyox" in the standardized Liangshan Yi dialect, where each syllable character functions as a unique logogram representing a distinct combination of consonant and vowel sounds. The Yi syllabary was officially standardized in the 1970s, and the inclusion of characters like this in Unicode ensures that digital text in the Yi language can be reliably stored, transmitted, and displayed across modern computing systems.
