U+0FB1 "ྱ" Tibetan Subjoined Letter Ya Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ྱ
U+0FB1 "ྱ" Tibetan Subjoined Letter Ya is a combining character used in the Tibetan script to represent a subscript or "subjoined" form of the consonant "ya" that appears beneath another consonant. It is an inherent component of Tibetan orthography, where it modifies the sound of the base consonant to create a "ya" conjunct, such as in the letter "kya" when attached to "ka." This character is part of the Tibetan block in Unicode and is essential for accurately rendering many Tibetan syllables, particularly in transliterations of Tibetan languages and in the liturgical texts of Tibetan Buddhism.
