U+11327 "𑌧" Grantha Letter Dha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑌧
U+11327 "𑌧" Grantha Letter Dha is a character from the Grantha script, an ancient abugida historically used in South India and Sri Lanka to write Sanskrit and the Dravidian language Tamil, particularly in religious and scholarly contexts. This specific character represents the voiced aspirated dental plosive sound /d̪ʱ/, akin to the "dh" in English "adhere". As part of the Grantha block in Unicode, it is employed in digital text to accurately transcribe classical texts and mantras, preserving the orthographic integrity of this historic script that bridges the Brahmi-derived writing systems of Southeast Asia and the modern scripts of India.
