U+10A28 "๐จจ" Kharoshthi Letter Ma is a glyph from the ancient Kharoshthi script, which was used primarily in the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent, including modern-day Pakistan and Afghanistan, from around the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This character represents the consonant "ma" and is part of an abugida writing system, where each basic character denotes a syllable with an inherent vowel sound. The Kharoshthi script itself is written from right to left and was employed for recording texts in Prakrit and Sanskrit, often found on inscriptions, coins, and manuscripts documenting Buddhist teachings and administrative records of the Gandhara civilization.
