ð‘’­

U+114AD "𑒭" Tirhuta Letter Ssa is a script character from the Tirhuta abugida, which is historically used to write the Maithili language in the Bihar and Jharkhand regions of India. This specific letter represents the retroflex sibilant sound "ssa" (IPA /ʂa/), a consonant distinct from the dental "sa" in the script. Tirhuta, also known as Mithilakshar, has a long tradition in religious and literary texts, particularly in Hindu and Jain contexts, and this character is part of its standard inventory of letters that were encoded in Unicode version 7.0 in 2014 to support digital preservation of the script.
