Unicode Version 17.0
๐
U+11618 "๐" Modi Letter Tta is a character from the Modi script, which was historically used to write the Marathi language in western India, particularly during the 17th to 19th centuries under the Maratha Empire. This specific letter represents the voiceless retroflex plosive sound "แนญa," similar to the English 't' but with the tongue curled back. As part of the Modi block in Unicode, it preserves a vital piece of cultural and linguistic heritage, enabling digital representation and research into historical documents and inscriptions. The character's distinct calligraphic shape reflects the cursive, flowing style of Modi, which was developed for efficient handwriting and administrative use.
