U+10A2D "𐨭" Kharoshthi Letter Sha is a symbol from the ancient Kharoshthi script, which was used from around the 3rd century BCE to the 3rd century CE primarily to write the Gandhari Prakrit language in regions of modern-day Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. This letter represents the consonant sound "sha" and belongs to a script that was written from right to left, famously employed in Buddhist texts, inscriptions, and coins of the Indo-Greek and Kushan empires.
