U+AABC "ꪼ" Tai Viet Vowel Ay Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꪼ
U+AABC "ꪼ" Tai Viet Vowel Ay is a glyph used in the Tai Viet script, which is employed to write languages such as Tai Dam, Tai Don, and Thai Song, primarily spoken by communities in Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. This character represents a specific vowel sound, typically transliterated as "ay" or "ai," and functions as an independent vowel letter that can combine with consonants to form syllables. Its design reflects the traditional calligraphic style of the Tai Viet writing system, which is distinct from the more widely known Thai script and has been encoded in Unicode to support digital preservation and communication for these endangered languages.
