U+112A4 "𑊤" Multani Letter Va Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑊤
U+112A4 "𑊤" Multani Letter Va is a character from the Multani script, an abugida historically used to write the Saraiki and sometimes the Sindhi languages in the Punjab region of present-day Pakistan and India. This specific character represents the consonant sound "va" as its phonetic value. The Multani script, which is a Brahmic script, was employed primarily for mercantile and agricultural record keeping from the 18th to the 20th century. Though the script has largely fallen out of regular use, it has been encoded in the Unicode Standard (since version 8.0 in 2015) as part of efforts to preserve historical writing systems, allowing scholars and linguists to digitally represent and study ancient and regional texts.
