U+1128C "๐" Multani Letter Ja Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
๐
U+1128C "๐" Multani Letter Ja is a character from the Multani script, which was historically used to write the Saraiki language in the Punjab region of South Asia. This script is an abugida derived from the Landa family of scripts, and the letter Ja represents the sound /dอกส/ as in the English word "jam". It is part of the Multani block in Unicode, added to encode the script used in old mercantile and literary documents, particularly from the 17th to 19th centuries. Today, the Multani script is largely obsolete but holds significance for historical and linguistic studies, with this specific character serving as a critical element in preserving the written heritage of the Saraiki-speaking communities.
