U+1101A "𑀚" Brahmi Letter Ja Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑀚
U+1101A "𑀚" Brahmi Letter Ja is a representation of the syllable "ja" in the ancient Brahmi script, one of the earliest writing systems used across the Indian subcontinent to inscribe Prakrit, Sanskrit, and other languages. This script, which dates from at least the 3rd century BCE, served as the progenitor for many major South and Southeast Asian scripts, and the letter Ja specifically corresponds to a voiced palatal stop consonant. The character is encoded in the Unicode Brahmi block, which was added to the standard in 2010 as part of version 6.0 to support scholarly study and digital preservation of historical inscriptions.
