U+1108A "ð‘‚Š" Kaithi Letter Ai Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1108A "ð‘‚Š" Kaithi Letter Ai is a glyph from the Kaithi script, a historical writing system used primarily in North India for languages like Bhojpuri, Maithili, and Magahi. This specific character represents the vowel sound "ai," similar to the English diphthong in the word "pie." It belongs to the Brahmic family of scripts and was encoded in Unicode as part of the Kaithi block to aid in the digital preservation and rendering of historical texts. The character's design features a distinctive curved shape with a top horizontal bar, typical of the Kaithi script's visual style, and it serves as an important component for accurately representing the phonology of the languages that employed this writing system in the medieval and early modern periods.
