What ꄋ means
ꄋ writes the Nuosu syllable duox; it is not an emoji.
Duox sounds roughly like “taw” on a rising pitch; final x marks its mid-to-high tone. Yi inscriptions may date to the Western Han period, though the script's origin is debated. A bronze bell from 1485 is an early securely dated monument.
Bimo (religious specialists) used older Yi forms in ritual, medical and family-history texts. Cuan and Wei are related historical Yi traditions, not descendants of Chinese characters. The Liangshan standard, based on Northern Yi forms, was devised in 1974 and promulgated in 1980 for Nuosu, not all Yi varieties.
