Sensei's Mark

I found that a letter of Yi alphabet looks like sensei's mark [v6, p137]:

'YI SYLLABLE QYP' (U+A415):

I don't know anything about Yi language. Does this have something to do with Sensei?

Howdy,

Very interesting find. I would have to say that it is more than coincidence, given Ashinano's obvious interest in some aspects of chinese culture. I wonder if we can get a meaning for that character. Is it hanzi, or is it phonetic?

Here is some more info about the the Yi culture:

You can scoll down and something that looks a moon guitar is also shown.

Best,

Dave

Thanks for cross referencing to this. I never saw it before. The link to the site about the Yi culture doesn't seem to work any more. So the Yi are Chinese?
