U+112A5 "ð‘Š¥" Multani Letter Sa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘Š¥
U+112A5 "ð‘Š¥" Multani Letter Sa is a character used in the Multani script, an abugida historically employed to write the Saraiki language in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan, particularly before its widespread replacement by the Shahmukhi and Gurmukhi scripts. This specific character represents the consonant sound /s/, akin to the English "s" in "sun". Its introduction into the Unicode Standard, within the Multani block, was part of an effort to digitally preserve and support this historical writing system, which has cultural and religious significance for scribing liturgical texts and community records, though its active daily use has dwindled.
