Unicode Version 17.0

𑊛

U+1129B "𑊛" Multani Letter Pa is a character from the Multani script, an ancient writing system historically used to write the Saraiki and Sindhi languages in the Punjab region of South Asia. This specific character represents the consonant sound "pa" and is part of a script known for its distinctive, angular letterforms that were traditionally carved onto wood or stone for inscriptions and record keeping. Although the Multani script is no longer in widespread everyday use, having been largely replaced by the Perso-Arabic script, the inclusion of U+1129B in Unicode helps preserve this cultural artifact for scholarly research, digital archiving, and linguistic studies.
