𑆱

U+111B1 "𑆱" Sharada Letter Sa is a glyph representing the consonant "sa" in the Sharada script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically used in the Kashmir region and parts of northern India to write the Kashmiri, Sanskrit, and occasionally Panjabi languages. This script, which was primarily employed for religious and literary manuscripts from around the 8th to the 20th century, is noted for its distinct, angular character shapes and its role in preserving important Hindu and Buddhist texts. The character "𑆱" itself corresponds to the voiceless sibilant "s" sound, contributing to the phonetic inventory of the languages it was used for, and is a specific instance within the Unicode standard's encoding of the Sharada script, which is included in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane for comprehensive digital representation of historical writing systems.
