Unicode Version 17.0
𐒂
U+10482 "𐒂" Osmanya Letter Ta is a symbol from the Osmanya script, an alphabetic writing system invented in the 1920s by Osman Yusuf Kenadid for the Somali language. This specific character represents the voiceless alveolar plosive sound /t/, similar to the English "t", and is part of the Osmanya block in Unicode, which supports the script's effort to modernize Somali writing before the Latin alphabet gained widespread official use. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve this cultural heritage for digital communication and historical documentation.
