Unicode Version 17.0

U+0F96 "ྖ" Tibetan Subjoined Letter Cha is a combining glyph used in the Tibetan script to represent the subjoined form of the consonant "cha" when it appears as a subscript under a base letter within a consonant cluster. This character is encoded in the Unicode standard under the Tibetan block and is typically employed in the vertical stacking of syllables, where it modifies the phonetic value of the preceding base character without carrying its own inherent vowel. It serves as a vital component in written Tibetan, allowing for the representation of complex conjuncts that are essential for accurately transcribing the language’s rich literary and liturgical texts.
