What 𖪵 means
It marks a voiceless, ch-like consonant in Muishvung.
Brackets mark pronunciation notation: [ʨ] is the sound, not another Tangsa letter. Gam Win’s Muishvung spelling with Latin letters writes it j; ca is the Unicode character name.
Who created the Tangsa alphabet?
Lakhum Mossang developed it for Muishvung from 1990.
The alphabet is independent of older scripts. A 2019 revision extended its planned letter set to more Tangsa varieties; as of 2021, active use was reported only for Muishvung.
