U+199E "ᦞ" New Tai Lue Letter Low Va is a glyph used in the New Tai Lue script, which was developed in the 1950s for writing the Tai Lü language, spoken primarily in Yunnan Province, China, and parts of Southeast Asia. This specific letter represents a low-tone consonant sound akin to "v" or "w," and it is part of a reformed alphabetic system that replaced the older, more complex Tai Tham script to improve literacy and simplify printing. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the New Tai Lue block, allowing for digital representation and text processing of this minority language script.
