YEZIDI LETTER XA is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of YEZIDI LETTER XA is Right-to-Left (Strong). It belongs to the strong right-to-left characters..

The Right-to-Left (R) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from right to left. This class includes most alphabetic characters from scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, and Thaana. The R characters determine the directionality of text segments and are crucial in the processing of bidirectional text.

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 Yezidi block. The Yezidi script is the traditional writing system used by the Yezidi people, a religious minority based primarily in Iraq and parts of Syria. The script was revived in the 21st century after being out of use for several centuries, with most Yezidi texts historically written in Arabic. The Yezidi script has a rich cultural and religious significance, and its inclusion in Unicode is part of broader efforts to preserve Yezidi heritage, especially after years of persecution and displacement of the Yezidi population. Having the Yezidi script in Unicode allows for the digital transcription of religious texts, folklore, and historical records, helping to ensure that the Yezidi culture is not lost. This is particularly important for future generations of Yezidis, many of whom have grown up in diaspora communities and are seeking to reconnect with their linguistic and cultural roots..
