U+A9EC "ꧬ" Myanmar Letter Tai Laing Jha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꧬ
U+A9EC "ꧬ" Myanmar Letter Tai Laing Jha is a specific glyph used in the Myanmar script block to represent a consonant sound in the Tai Laing language, a Tai language spoken primarily in Myanmar’s Kachin and Shan states. This letter corresponds to the voiced aspirated postalveolar affricate sound, similar to the English "j" sound, and is part of the extended Myanmar alphabet designed to accurately transcribe Tai Laing phonology, which differs from standard Burmese. It is encoded in Unicode’s Myanmar Extended-B range, underscoring its role in preserving and digitally supporting a less widely written language.
