U+111A0 "๐ " Sharada Letter Ta Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+111A0 "๐ " Sharada Letter Ta is a glyph from the Sharada script, an ancient writing system historically used in the Kashmir and North Indian regions from around the 8th century onward to write Sanskrit and Kashmiri languages. This specific character represents the consonant "ta," the first letter of the second row of consonants in the Sharada abugida, where vowel diacritics are appended to modify its sound. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard supports the digital preservation and accurate representation of historical manuscripts and inscriptions, such as those found in Buddhist texts, Hindu epics, and royal decrees. The character's design, with its distinct curved and angular strokes, reflects the calligraphic traditions of medieval Northwestern India, differing notably from its modern descendant, the Devanagari letter เค (แนญa), which evolved from it over centuries.
