U+11591 "ð‘–‘" Siddham Letter Gha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11591 "ð‘–‘" Siddham Letter Gha is a glyph from the Siddham script, an abugida historically used in East Asia for writing Sanskrit and other sacred Buddhist texts, particularly in Japan, China, and Korea. This specific character represents the aspirated voiced velar plosive sound "gha," which corresponds to the fourth consonant in the Sanskrit phonetic series. Originally developed in India, the Siddham script was transmitted to East Asia along with esoteric Buddhist teachings, and this letter would have been employed in manuscripts, mandalas, and ritual inscriptions to transcribe mantras and sutras. Today, the character is primarily of interest to scholars of historical linguistics, religious studies, and digital typography, as it is encoded in Unicode to support the preservation and digital representation of this ancient writing system.
