Unicode Version 17.0
𑍴
U+11374 "𑍴" Combining Grantha Letter Pa is a diacritical mark used in the Grantha script, which is historically employed to write Sanskrit and classical texts in South India. This character specifically represents the consonant "pa" in a combining form, meaning it is designed to attach to a base character to modify or extend its sound, typically indicating the presence of the consonant "p" as part of a conjunct or a ligature. It is included in the Unicode block for Grantha, which was added to support digital encoding of this ancient script, and it functions in scripts where consonant symbols are stacked or combined graphically rather than placed independently.
