U+A9FA "ꧺ" Myanmar Letter Tai Laing Lla Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A9FA "ꧺ" Myanmar Letter Tai Laing Lla is a script symbol used in the Tai Laing language, a Tai-Kadai language spoken primarily in Myanmar’s Kachin State and Sagaing Region, as well as neighboring areas of China. This letter represents a lateral consonant sound, distinct from standard Burmese script, and was added to the Unicode Standard in version 11.0 (2018) as part of the Myanmar Extended-B block to support the unique orthographic needs of Tai Laing. Its inclusion helps preserve and digitally encode the written form of this minority language, which relies on a modified version of the Myanmar alphabet to differentiate its phonetic inventory from other regional scripts.
