U+AA7A "ꩺ" Myanmar Letter Aiton Ra Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꩺ
U+AA7A "ꩺ" Myanmar Letter Aiton Ra is a specific glyph used in the Myanmar script to represent a voiced alveolar or retroflex approximant sound, typically transcribed as "ra," within the Aiton language, a Tai-Kadai language spoken by the Aiton people in parts of northeastern India, most notably in Assam. This character is part of the Myanmar Extended-A block, which was added to the Unicode standard to support minority languages like Aiton, Khamti, and Phake that employ the Burmese script but require additional letters not found in standard Myanmar. The inclusion of U+AA7A helps preserve the linguistic identity of the Aiton community by enabling digital text representation for their unique phonetic needs.
