What 𖪉 means
It marks the Aw vowel in one of Tangsa’s tone forms. In Mossang (Muishvung), Aw is an open-o sound, written [ɔ] in phonetic notation; the ending c distinguishes its form among four tone-marked versions.
Vowel letters follow the first consonant in a syllable. The same written tone category can have different pitch realizations across Tangsa varieties, so the letter does not fix one pitch everywhere.
How did this script develop?
Lakhum Mossang began developing the script in 1990. He designed it for his Mossang speech in Arunachal Pradesh, India, and taught it by hand. His handwritten material included traditional songs and a prayer. In 2019, a community committee revised the writing system for broader Tangsa use. The script is an original design, unrelated by descent to other scripts.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𖪉 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.
