U+A9FE "ꧾ" Myanmar Letter Tai Laing Bha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꧾ
U+A9FE "ꧾ" Myanmar Letter Tai Laing Bha is a specific glyph used in the Myanmar script to represent a consonant sound in the Tai Laing language, a Tai language spoken by communities in Myanmar's Kachin and Sagaing regions. This character, added to Unicode in version 12.0 in 2019, is part of the extended Myanmar block and helps facilitate digital text representation for a language that traditionally uses a modified form of the Burmese script. Its appearance, shaped like a rounded form with a curl, distinguishes it from similar letters in standard Burmese and ensures proper encoding for linguistic documentation, education, and communication among Tai Laing speakers.
