U+0F6B "ཫ" Tibetan Letter Kka Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+0F6B "ཫ" Tibetan Letter Kka is a specialized character in the Tibetan script used to represent the sound of a voiceless retroflex stop combined with a velar release, typically romanized as "kka" in transliteration. It is part of the Tibetan block in Unicode, primarily employed in the Dzongkha language of Bhutan, as well as in some historical or phonetically precise Tibetan texts where it distinguishes this complex consonant cluster from simpler velar sounds. The glyph visually combines the base structure of the Tibetan letter ka with a subscript-like mark or variation to indicate the retroflex and velar articulation. This character is relatively rare in standard Tibetan usage but serves an important role in accurately transcribing certain sounds in specific linguistic and liturgical contexts.
