U+A4D8 "ꓘ" Lisu Letter Kha is a glyph from the Lisu script, which is used to write the Lisu language, spoken by the Lisu people primarily in China, Myanmar, Thailand, and India. This specific letter represents an aspirated velar plosive sound, similar to the "k" in English but with a strong puff of air, and it is part of the alphabet developed by the missionary James O. Fraser in the early 20th century. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Lisu block, enabling its digital representation across modern computing systems and supporting the preservation of the Lisu writing system.
