Unicode Version 17.0

ð‘–“

U+11593 "ð‘–“" Siddham Letter Ca is a character from the Siddham script, a historical abugida used primarily in East Asia for writing Sanskrit and Buddhist texts, especially in Japan for esoteric Shingon and Tendai traditions. This character represents the syllable "ca," the third consonant of the Siddham alphabet, grouped within the palatal series. Its visual form is a stylized, rounded glyph typical of Siddham calligraphy, often found in liturgical manuscripts, temple inscriptions, and mantras, where it serves both a phonetic and a meditative function. As part of the Sutd, the character remains important for scholars of historical linguistics and Buddhist studies, preserving a written tradition that flourished from the 7th to the 12th centuries in India and later in East Asia.
