U+16F0B "𖼋" Miao Letter Da Unicode Character

U+16F0B "𖼋" Miao Letter Da is a glyph from the Miao script, specifically the Pollard Miao alphabet, which was historically used to write several Hmongic languages. This character represents a consonant sound, typically articulated as a voiced alveolar plosive similar to the English "d", and it belongs to the Unicode block titled "Miao", encoded in version 6.1 of the Unicode Standard. The Miao script was developed in the early 20th century by missionaries, notably Samuel Pollard, to facilitate literacy among Miao-speaking communities, and "Da" forms part of a syllabic writing system where each character encodes both a consonant and an inherent vowel, often with diacritical marks to indicate tone.
