U+11209 "𑈉" Khojki Letter Kha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑈉
U+11209 "𑈉" Khojki Letter Kha is a grapheme from the Khojki script, an abugida historically used by the Khoja Ismaili community to write the Sindhi and Gujarati languages for religious and literary texts. This character represents the aspirated voiceless velar plosive sound "kha," akin to the "kh" in "khan," and is part of a script designed for liturgical manuscripts, particularly those of the Ginans, a collection of Ismaili devotional poetry. Its glyph features a distinct curved shape with a horizontal top line, reflecting the decorative and functional characteristics of the Khojki writing system, which was standardized and encoded in Unicode to preserve this unique cultural and linguistic heritage.
