ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE HHWI is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE HHWI is Left-to-Right (Strong). It belongs to the strong left-to-right characters..

The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right. This includes most alphabetic characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that are typically written in this direction. The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

Other Letter (Lo) refers to letters that do not fit into the uppercase, lowercase, titlecase, or modifier letter categories. These include letters from scripts that do not have case distinction, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and others. This category is also used for syllabic and ideographic characters that function as letters.

This character belongs to the Ethiopic Extended-B block. The Ethiopic Extended-B block includes additional characters used in writing the Ge'ez script, which is the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and is also used for several modern languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea, including Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigre. The Ge'ez script has a long history, dating back over 1,700 years, and it remains one of the most widely used indigenous writing systems in Africa. The additional characters included in the Ethiopic Extended-B block are necessary for accurately representing certain phonetic and orthographic features of the modern languages that use the script. By including these characters in Unicode, the block ensures that digital texts in Amharic, Tigrinya, and other Ethiopic languages can be accurately represented and shared, helping to preserve these languages in both print and digital media..
