ཪ
U+0F6A "ཪ" Tibetan Letter Fixed-Form Ra is a specific glyph used in the Tibetan script to represent a variant form of the consonant "ra," typically employed in transliterating Sanskrit or in certain fixed orthographic contexts. Unlike the standard Tibetan letter "ra" (U+0F62), this fixed-form character has a distinct shape intended to preserve consistency in representing foreign sounds, particularly in liturgical or scholarly texts. It is included in the Tibetan block of Unicode and serves a specialized role in writing systems that require precise phonetic or historical accuracy, notably in Buddhist scriptures and linguistic transcriptions from classical languages.
