U+0A25 "ਥ" Gurmukhi Letter Tha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ਥ
U+0A25 "ਥ" Gurmukhi Letter Tha is the thirty-second letter of the Gurmukhi alphabet, representing the aspirated voiceless dental plosive sound /t̪ʰə/, similar to the "th" in the English word "thumb" but produced with the tongue touching the back of the teeth. It is used in the Punjabi language, both in India and Pakistan, and is a distinct character from the unaspirated "ਤ" (Ta) and other dental sounds. In the Gurmukhi script, "ਥ" is employed in writing native Punjabi words as well as loanwords, and its shape features a distinctive top bar with a looped body, making it easily recognizable in written text. This character holds cultural significance as part of the script used for the Sikh scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib.
