Miao Letter Dzza

44/149

𖼫 is the consonant letter for the first sound in English “jam” in A-Hmao, a Miao language. The 1988 spelling writes that sound as /d͡ʑ/; the character is not a whole word or religious sign. By 1949, A-Hmao literacy had grown beyond church texts.

Text symbol

What 𖼫 means

No; it marks only the opening consonant.

Add vowel signs and a pitch cue to complete the syllable. The older spelling shows tone by moving the vowel; the 1988 revision uses separate tone letters.

Why was Pollard writing created?

To write A-Hmao and teach reading in its own language.

Work began in 1904 with Samuel Pollard and A-Hmao collaborators. First primers appeared in 1905 with hymns and Bible stories.

Pollard cited Cree syllabics, a writing system for the Cree language in Canada, as a model. By 1949, Pollard spelling had been adapted to other local languages; A-Hmao teachers and scholars also used it to record songs and stories.

Why does 𖼫 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Miao block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.

Why is 𖼫 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
