What ꎅ means
It writes one syllable in standardized Liangshan Yi.
Rrex is its Latin-letter spelling; the final x marks a secondary-high tone, a specific pitch level. It identifies a sound, not an English translation, so the surrounding Yi word and sentence supply the meaning.
Older Yi writing developed in regional forms rather than one uniform script. Bimo, Yi ritual specialists, used those forms for religious, medical, magical and genealogical texts. The standardized Liangshan form is one branch of that tradition and is used in education and everyday writing.
