𑊰

U+112B0 "𑊰" Khudawadi Letter A is the first vowel in the Khudawadi script, which was historically used to write the Sindhi language in parts of present-day Pakistan and India. This character represents the inherent vowel sound /ə/ or a short, unstressed "a" that typically begins syllables in words, and it is a foundational building block of the script, serving as the base form from which other vowel signs are often derived through diacritical markings.
