U+105ED "" Todhri Letter Zha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+105ED "" Todhri Letter Zha is a glyph used in the Todhri alphabet, a historic script primarily employed for writing the Albanian language in the 19th century. This specific letter represents a voiced retroflex fricative sound, similar to the 'zh' in the English word "measure," and is one of several characters in the Todhri block that was added to the Unicode Standard to support the preservation and digital representation of this indigenous writing system. The Todhri alphabet, attributed to the scholar Todhri from the region of Elbasan, was developed as part of a broader effort to create a distinct Albanian alphabet before the adoption of the modern Latin-based script.
