꤈ is the Kayah Li digit 8: it writes eight in Kayah Li text. In ordinary Kayah Li counts, its place around a noun depends on the counting word. Entering and displaying it are separate; your device needs a Kayah Li keyboard layout and a font that covers the script.

Text symbol

What ꤈ means

It represents the number eight in Kayah Li writing.

Kayah Li was developed by Htae Bu Phae in March 1962 as a distinct writing system for the Kayah people, partly in response to spellings associated with Burmese authorities and missionary institutions. By the 1980s, it appeared in schoolbooks, dictionaries, and magazines; refugee-camp schools also used it for education and community identity. Kayah Li is connected to the Brahmic script family, a broad family of writing systems used across South and Southeast Asia. Its letter order and some letter shapes show Myanmar influence, while most signs developed independently.

how do I type Kayah Li digit 8?

Select a Kayah Li keyboard layout.

A Kayah Li community resource listed layouts called SIL Kayah/Kali and KayahUni in 2026, along with fonts. Choose an installed layout in your device’s input settings.

In Western Kayah Li, a numeral usually follows the noun and comes before a classifier, the word used to count that kind of thing. When the classifier leads the phrase, the numeral can come before it.

why does Kayah Li 8 show as a box?

The font or browser fallback may lack Kayah Li coverage.

As of 2026, browser display depends on the chosen font and font fallback. Without Kayah Li coverage, ꤈ may appear as a box or blank; choose a supported font, and the text still contains the same character.

Why does ꤈ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
