U+0798 "ޘ" Thaana Letter Ttaa is a letter from the Thaana script, which is used to write the Dhivehi language spoken in the Maldives. This specific character represents the retroflex consonant sound similar to a hard "t" like in English "tar," but pronounced with the tongue curled back against the palate. It is used in writing loanwords and certain native Dhivehi words where this distinctive sound occurs. The Thaana script is written from right to left, and each letter, including Ttaa, has a unique shape that fits its cursive style, with vowels indicated by diacritical marks placed above or below the consonant.
