U+0FB4 "ྴ" Tibetan Subjoined Letter Sha Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+0FB4 "ྴ" Tibetan Subjoined Letter Sha is a typographic mark used in the Tibetan script to represent a subjoined form of the consonant "sha," appearing beneath a base character within a syllable stack to denote the sound "sh" as part of the astrological or transliteration system. This character is part of the Tibetan block in Unicode and is employed in written Tibetan, especially in religious or scholarly texts, to create complex conjuncts where subjoined letters modify the pronunciation or structure of the syllable. Its design follows the calligraphic tradition of Tibetan script, with a curved, flowing shape that attaches seamlessly to the preceding consonant.
