U+110AC "𑂬" Kaithi Letter Sha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑂬
U+110AC "𑂬" Kaithi Letter Sha is a glyph from the Kaithi script, a historical writing system primarily used in northern India for administrative and literary purposes from the 16th to the early 20th centuries. This specific character represents the consonant sound "sha" and is part of the Kaithi block in the Unicode Standard, which was encoded to preserve and digitally support the script's linguistic and cultural heritage. The Kashmiri and Bhojpuri languages, among others, employed Kaithi, and this letter would have appeared in manuscripts, records, and printed texts before the script was largely replaced by Devanagari. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for modern digital archiving and scholarly work on historical documents.
