U+138F "ᎏ" Ethiopic Syllable Pwe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+138F "ᎏ" Ethiopic Syllable Pwe is part of the Ethiopic Extended block, which was designed to support the writing of languages that use the Geʽez script but require additional syllables not found in classic Ethiopic orthography. This particular character represents the syllable pronounced as "pwe," using the consonant base for the sound "p" combined with the vowel modifier for the "we" scheme. It is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode Standard, intended to aid in proper digital representation and transcription of languages such as Meʼen, Suri, or other Ethiopian and Eritrean languages that include labiovelar and labialized sounds in their phonetic inventory.
