Unicode Version 17.0
𑅠
U+11160 "𑅠" Mahajani Letter Dda is a character from the Mahajani script, a historical writing system used primarily for mercantile and accounting purposes in parts of North India from around the 16th to the 20th century. This specific character represents the voiced retroflex plosive sound "ḍa" (similar to the 'd' in "drum" but with the tongue curled back), functioning as a consonant in the script's inventory of letters. As part of the Unicode Standard, it allows for the digital representation and preservation of this script, which was often written with a distinct, flowing style and lacked vowel indicators, relying on context for pronunciation.
