U+0C25 "థ" Telugu Letter Tha Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+0C25 "థ" Telugu Letter Tha is a consonant used in the Telugu script to represent the aspirated dental plosive sound /t̪ʰ/, similar to the "th" in the English word "thumb" but with a clear release of breath. It belongs to the Telugu block of Unicode, an alphasyllabary derived from the Brahmi script, and is primarily employed in writing the Telugu language, where it can be combined with vowel diacritics or other consonants to form complex syllabic characters. This letter is distinct from its unaspirated counterpart "త" (ta) and plays a key role in accurately transcribing Sanskrit loanwords and native Telugu vocabulary.
