U+1115B "ð‘…›" Mahajani Letter Ja Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð‘…›

U+1115B "ð‘…›" Mahajani Letter Ja is a glyph from the Mahajani script, a historically significant writing system used primarily by traders and merchants in the northern Indian subcontinent, particularly in Rajasthan and surrounding regions, to record financial transactions, ledgers, and legal documents from roughly the 11th to the 20th century. This specific character represents the consonant sound "ja" and is part of the script's basic alphabet, which was valued for its practicality and speed in commercial contexts but lacked systematic vowel representation, relying on contextual understanding for pronunciation. The character was encoded in Unicode version 7.0 in 2014 as part of efforts to preserve and digitally represent lesser-known historic scripts of India.
