Unicode Version 17.0
ꓧ
U+A4E7 "ꓧ" Lisu Letter Xa is a character from the Lisu script, also known as the Fraser alphabet, which was created in the early 20th century by missionary James O. Fraser and others to write the Lisu language spoken by the Lisu people primarily in southwestern China, Myanmar, and Thailand. This specific letter represents the voiceless velar fricative sound, similar to the "ch" in the Scottish word "loch," and forms part of a syllabic writing system that uses uppercase letters for consonants and lowercase letters for vowels, making it distinct from other Brahmi-derived scripts.
