Source: Browser Default
U+1EA9 "ẩ" Latin Small Letter A with Circumflex and Hook Above is a precomposed Vietnamese diacritic letter that combines a base Latin lowercase A with a circumflex accent (ˆ) placed over it and a hook above ( ̉ ) attached to the top right, specifically used in the Vietnamese alphabet to represent the sound of the vowel "â" under the hỏi tone, which indicates a mid-low falling-rising pitch. This character is part of the Latin Extended Additional block and is encoded to support efficient text rendering for Vietnamese, where it appears in words like "ẩm" (meaning damp or moist) and is distinguishable from its counterparts with other tonal marks, such as ấ, ầ, ẫ, and ậ.
