Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘…¬
U+1116C "ð‘…¬" Mahajani Letter Ma is a glyph from the Mahajani script, a historical writing system used primarily for commercial and accounting purposes in the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent, particularly in present day Punjab and Sindh. This specific character represents the consonant sound "ma" and was part of a script known for its cursive, linear style that omitted vowel signs in many contexts, reflecting its practical role in quickly recording transactions and ledgers. Like all characters in the Mahajani block, it is encoded under ISO 15924 for the Mahajani script and is now mainly of interest to scholars studying historical trade documents and the evolution of Indic scripts.
