Unicode Version 17.0
𑌛
U+1131B "𑌛" Grantha Letter Cha is a character from the Grantha script, an ancient writing system historically used in South India and Sri Lanka to write Sanskrit and Dravidian languages like Tamil. It represents the aspirated voiceless palatal stop consonant sound "cha," and its form is clearly distinct from its unaspirated counterpart, the Grantha letter Ca. This character is part of the Unicode Grantha block, which was added to the standard to support the digital encoding of historical and liturgical texts that use this script, preserving its unique orthographic features for modern computation and typography.
