U+11590 "𑖐" Siddham Letter Ga is a glyph representing the voiced velar stop consonant "ga" within the Siddham script, an historical abugida once used in East Asia primarily for writing Buddhist texts and mantra inscriptions. This character forms part of the Siddham block in Unicode, which was included to support the scholarly study and digital representation of a script that flourished in medieval India and was later transmitted to China and Japan, where it remained in liturgical use. The letter Ga is written with a distinctive sweeping horizontal stroke and a curved vertical line, reflecting the angular yet flowing calligraphic style that defines the Siddham writing system.
