U+11172 "ð‘…²" Mahajani Letter Rra Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘…²
U+11172 "ð‘…²" Mahajani Letter Rra is a letter from the Mahajani script, a historically significant writing system once used for commercial and administrative purposes across parts of North India, particularly in Rajasthan and Punjab. This specific character represents the retroflex "Rra" sound, a distinct consonant that was essential for accurately transcribing local languages and dialects in account books, legal documents, and trade records. Classified under the Mahajani block in the Unicode Standard, it was encoded to preserve the script’s historical and linguistic heritage, as the script fell out of common use by the mid-20th century but remains of interest to scholars of Indian paleography and digital type design.
