U+A4D0 "ꓐ" Lisu Letter Ba Unicode Character

U+A4D0 "ꓐ" Lisu Letter Ba is the first letter of the Lisu alphabet, representing the sound /b/ in the Fraser script used for writing the Lisu language, primarily spoken in southwestern China, northern Myanmar, and parts of Thailand and India. This character is part of the Lisu block in Unicode, which was added to support the standardized orthography developed by missionary James O. Fraser in the early 20th century. The letter forms part of a syllabic writing system where each character inherently carries an unmarked mid tone, with tone marks added as diacritics to indicate other tones.
