U+114A6 "๐ฆ" Tirhuta Letter Bha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
๐ฆ
U+114A6 "๐ฆ" Tirhuta Letter Bha is a glyph from the Tirhuta script, historically used to write the Maithili language primarily in the Mithila region of India and Nepal. This character represents the aspirated voiced bilabial consonant sound “bha,” which is commonly found in the Maithili phonetic inventory and corresponds to the Devanagari letter เคญ. In modern contexts, the Tirhuta script has been largely supplanted by Devanagari, but Unicode inclusion helps preserve this character for scholarly, religious, and cultural applications, such as in the transcription of ancient manuscripts and traditional Maithili literature.
