U+3110 "ㄐ" Bopomofo Letter J Unicode Character

U+3110 "ㄐ" Bopomofo Letter J is a phonetic symbol used in the Bopomofo (Zhuyin Fuhao) system, which is employed in Taiwan to transcribe the sounds of Mandarin Chinese. This particular letter represents the initial consonant sound equivalent to the English "j" as in "jeep," though it is pronounced with the tongue positioned against the front of the hard palate, making it a voiced alveolopalatal affricate. As part of the Bopomofo inventory, it is essential for teaching pronunciation and typing Mandarin without relying on the Latin alphabet, and is classified under the Unicode block "Bopomofo," which was added in version 1.1 of the Unicode standard.
