Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘Š€
U+11280 "ð‘Š€" Multani Letter A is the first letter of the Multani script, an abugida historically used to write the Saraiki language in the Punjab region of South Asia. This script belongs to the Brahmic family and was primarily employed by traders and merchants for record keeping, with the letter representing the vowel sound 'a' as in 'apple'. The Multani script is no longer in common use, having been largely replaced by the Arabic script for Saraiki, but it remains significant for the study of historical trade and linguistics in the area.
