U+10A13 "๐จ" Kharoshthi Letter Gha is a character from the historical Kharoshthi script, an ancient writing system used primarily in the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent from the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This specific character represents the voiced aspirated velar stop /ษกสฑ/ sound, akin to the "gh" sound in words like "ghost" when pronounced with breathy voice.
