U+11156 "ð‘…–" Mahajani Letter Kha is a character from the Mahajani script, an ancient writing system historically used primarily in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Punjab, and Gujarat for mercantile and accounting purposes. Representing the aspirated velar plosive sound "kha," this symbol was part of a script that served as a shorthand for traders and merchants, often written without vowels or complex ligatures for speed and efficiency.
