U+113A4 "𑎤" Tulu-Tigalari Letter Dha Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑎤

U+113A4 "𑎤" Tulu-Tigalari Letter Dha is a grapheme from the Tulu-Tigalari script, an abugida historically used to write the Tulu language in the coastal regions of Karnataka and Kerala, India, particularly in and around the town of Tulu. This specific character represents the aspirated voiced dental stop "dha" and is part of the script's basic consonantal inventory. The Tulu-Tigalari script, which has seen a revival in recent years due to digital encoding and cultural preservation efforts, shares structural similarities with other southern Brahmic scripts, and this letter is typically followed by an inherent vowel "a" unless modified by a diacritic. Its inclusion in Unicode supports the digital representation and scholarly study of this lesser-known South Indian script.
