U+11393 "𑎓" Tulu-Tigalari Letter Kha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑎓
U+11393 "𑎓" Tulu-Tigalari Letter Kha is a distinct grapheme from the Tulu-Tigalari script, an ancient abugida historically used to write the Tulu language in the coastal region of Karnataka, India. This character represents the aspirated consonant "kha," akin to the sound in the English word "blockhead," and is part of a recently encoded block added to Unicode in 2022 to preserve and digitize the script. Its inclusion allows for digital representation and revitalization of Tulu language texts, which were traditionally written on palm leaves, thereby supporting cultural heritage and linguistic documentation in modern computing environments.
