ð‘‚¥

U+110A5 "ð‘‚¥" Kaithi Letter Ba is a glyph representing the syllable "ba" in the Kaithi script, an historical writing system used primarily in North India for languages such as Bhojpuri, Maithili, Magahi, and Urdu before the widespread adoption of Devanagari. This script, which features a distinctive cursive appearance, was common in legal, administrative, and literary documents from the 16th through the 20th centuries, and the character itself functions as a consonant letter in the Kaithi abugida where vowels are inherently implied or denoted by diacritic marks. The inclusion of this letter in the Unicode Standard ensures its preservation and digital representation for scholarly work, text encoding, and cultural heritage projects involving historical manuscripts and texts from the region.
