U+A4DB "ꓛ" Lisu Letter Cha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꓛ
U+A4DB "ꓛ" Lisu Letter Cha is part of the Lisu script, which was developed in the early 20th century by Sara Ba Thaw for writing the Lisu language spoken primarily in southwestern China, Myanmar, Thailand, and India. This specific character represents the aspirated voiceless palatal affricate sound /tɕʰ/, similar to the "ch" sound in English, and is used in the modern orthography of the language to distinguish it from other similar sounds. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Lisu block, which helps preserve and digitally represent this minority language and its unique writing system.
