U+A4EB "ꓫ" Lisu Letter Sha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꓫ
U+A4EB "ꓫ" Lisu Letter Sha is a specific symbol used in the Lisu script, which was developed by missionary James O. Fraser in the early 20th century for writing the Lisu language, spoken by the Lisu people primarily in China, Myanmar, Thailand, and India. This character represents the voiceless palato-alveolar fricative sound, similar to the English "sh" in "shoe," and is an essential component of the modern standard Lisu orthography, which gained official Unicode encoding in 2008 as part of the Lisu block.
