U+1E7E9 "𞟩" Ethiopic Syllable Hhwi is a glyph from the Ethiopic Extended-B block, used in the Geʽez script to represent a specific syllabic sound. This character corresponds to the syllable pronounced as "hhwi," forming part of the script's system that modifies a base consonant with the vowel "i" while incorporating a particular phonetic quality. It is employed in writing languages such as Amharic and Tigrinya, where the Ethiopic abugida maps each character to a consonant vowel combination. The addition of "𞟩" and similar syllables helps accurately transcribe and preserve the phonological distinctions of these languages.
