U+A90B "ꤋ" Kayah Li Letter Kha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A90B "ꤋ" Kayah Li Letter Kha is part of the Kayah Li script, which was designed in the 20th century for writing the Kayah languages of eastern Myanmar and western Thailand. This specific character represents the aspirated velar plosive consonant sound /kʰ/, similar to the 'k' sound in English but with a strong puff of air. It is used in the standard orthography for both Western Kayah (also known as Karenni) and Eastern Kayah, appearing in texts such as educational materials, religious translations, and community communications. The Kayah Li script, encoded in Unicode Block A900, was developed to preserve and promote the linguistic identity of the Kayah people, making characters like "ꤋ" essential for accurate written representation of their spoken language.
