Unicode Version 17.0
𑂏
U+1108F "𑂏" Kaithi Letter Ga is a character from the Kaithi script, a historical writing system primarily used in northern India from the 16th to the mid-20th century for administrative and literary purposes in languages such as Maithili, Bhojpuri, and early Hindi. This specific character represents the consonant sound "ga," which is the third letter in the Kaithi syllabary and corresponds to the voiced velar plosive. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard under the Kaithi block (U+11080 to U+110CF) ensures the digital preservation and accurate representation of texts written in this script, supporting ongoing efforts to study, digitize, and revitalize historical documents and languages that rely on Kaithi.
