U+111AB "𑆫" Sharada Letter Ra Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+111AB "𑆫" Sharada Letter Ra is a graphic symbol used within the Sharada script, an ancient writing system historically employed in the Kashmir region of South Asia for writing the Sanskrit and Kashmiri languages. This specific character represents the consonant sound "ra" and is a fundamental component of the Sharada abugida, where each consonant carries an inherent vowel "a" that can be modified with diacritical marks. The Sharada script, now primarily preserved in religious and manuscript contexts for its cultural and historical significance, includes this letter as part of its classical repertoire, with its design often characterized by distinctive curved and angular strokes that reflect the script’s evolution from the broader Brahmi family of scripts.
