U+0A9A "ચ" Gujarati Letter Ca Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ચ
U+0A9A "ચ" Gujarati Letter Ca is the fourth consonant of the Gujarati script and represents the unaspirated voiceless palatal plosive sound, similar to the English "ch" in "church" but without a strong burst of air. In terms of its usage, this character is essential for writing a wide range of words in the Gujarati language, such as "ચા" (chā, meaning tea) and "ચંદ્ર" (chandra, meaning moon). Unlike the Devanagari equivalent, which has a horizontal headline, the Gujarati letter "ચ" is written without such a connecting line, reflecting the distinct visual style of the Gujarati abugida.
