Unicode Version 17.0
ꓽ
U+A4FD "ꓽ" Lisu Letter Tone Mya Jeu is a tone marker used in the Lisu script, which is primarily employed for writing the Lisu language spoken by the Lisu people in Myanmar, China, Thailand, and India. This specific character represents the fourth tone of the language, often pronounced with a high-falling or creaky tone quality, and it is part of the Fraser alphabet developed by missionary James O. Fraser in the early 20th century. In digital text, it appears as a distinct glyph that helps convey correct pronunciation and meaning in written Lisu, distinguishing words that would otherwise be homographic.
