Unicode Version 17.0
𑖝
U+1159D "𑖝" Siddham Letter Ta is a glyph from the Siddham script, an abugida historically used in East Asia for writing Sanskrit and Buddhist texts, particularly in esoteric practices. This specific character represents the consonant "ta" and belongs to a script that originated in India but was transmitted along Buddhist trade routes to China, Japan, and Korea, where it was preserved in religious contexts, such as sutra copying and mandala inscriptions, long after its decline in South Asia. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and accurate rendering of these ancient sacred writings.
