U+11297 "ð‘Š—" Multani Letter Tha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘Š—
U+11297 "ð‘Š—" Multani Letter Tha is a glyph from the Multani script, an ancient writing system historically used in the Multan region of present day Pakistan for writing the Saraiki language as well as for other local dialects. This specific character represents the aspirated voiceless dental plosive sound "tha," similar to the sound in the English word "thumb." As part of the Multani alphabet, it was employed primarily in mercantile and administrative contexts before the script fell into disuse, and it is now classified as a historic or dead script in the Unicode Standard, preserved for digital representation and scholarly study of South Asian paleography.
