U+1149B "ð‘’›" Tirhuta Letter Dda Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘’›
U+1149B "ð‘’›" Tirhuta Letter Dda is a specific letter used in the Tirhuta script, which is historically employed to write the Maithili language primarily spoken in the Mithila region of Bihar, India and parts of Nepal. This character represents the retroflex consonant sound /É–/, similar to the "d" sound in English but produced with the tongue curled back against the palate. As part of the Tirhuta block in Unicode, it supports the preservation and digital representation of the script, which has seen a revival in modern times for cultural and literary purposes. The letter follows the typical structure of Tirhuta abugida, where consonants carry an inherent vowel sound that can be modified by diacritical marks.
