U+A4DE "ꓞ" Lisu Letter Tsha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꓞ
U+A4DE "ꓞ" Lisu Letter Tsha is a character from the Lisu script, which was originally designed by missionaries in the early 20th century to write the Lisu language spoken primarily in southwestern China, Myanmar, and Thailand. This particular letter represents a voiceless aspirated postalveolar affricate sound, similar to the "ch" in the English word "church," and is an essential part of the 48 base characters in the modern standardized Fraser alphabet used for the Lisu language. The character was added to the Unicode Standard in 2003 as part of the Lisu block, supporting the digital preservation and written communication of the Lisu linguistic heritage.
