U+11594 "ð‘–”" Siddham Letter Cha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘–”
U+11594 "ð‘–”" Siddham Letter Cha is a character from the Siddham script, an ancient Indian abugida historically used in East Asia for writing Sanskrit and Buddhist texts, particularly in Japan's esoteric Shingon and Tendai traditions. This specific letter represents the consonant sound "cha," often encountered in the transliteration of mantras and sacred scriptures. Originally derived from the Brahmi script, Siddham flourished between the 6th and 12th centuries in India before being transmitted to China and later to Japan, where it continues to be preserved in calligraphy and ritual contexts. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard allows for its accurate digital representation and study.
