U+11028 "𑀨" Brahmi Letter Pha is a glyph representing the aspirated consonant 'pha' from the ancient Brahmi script, one of the earliest writing systems used to write Prakrit, Sanskrit, and other early Indian languages. Part of the Brahmi block in Unicode, this character is a syllabic letter that typically denotes the sound /pʰa/, where the diacritic-like "h" indicates a breathy release. The Brahmi script itself dates back to the 3rd century BCE and is the ancestor of many modern South and Southeast Asian writing systems, including Devanagari, Tamil, and Thai.
