Unicode Version 17.0

𑊝

U+1129D "𑊝" Multani Letter Ba is a character from the Multani script, an abugida historically used to write the Saraiki and Sindhi languages in the Punjab region of South Asia. This specific glyph represents the consonant sound "ba" and is part of a script that was primarily used for mercantile and everyday communications before being largely supplanted by the Perso-Arabic script. While the Multani script is now considered endangered, its inclusion in the Unicode Standard helps preserve the written heritage of the communities that once used it, allowing for digital representation and scholarly study of this historical writing system.
