This is a proposal to encode the Pahawh Hmong script in the international character encoding standard Unicode. Pahawh Hmong was published in Unicode Standard version 7.0 in June 2014. The script is said to have been devised in the latter half of the 20c. Pahawh Hmong underwent a number of stages of development. The characters encoded in Unicode support text that has been written in Second Stage Reduced, Third Stage Reduced, and Final versions.
