Unicode Version 17.0
𑘬
U+1162C "𑘬" Modi Letter Ssa is a character from the Modi script, an abugida historically used to write the Marathi language in the Indian subcontinent during the medieval period, primarily for administrative and legal documents before the adoption of the Devanagari script. This specific character represents the voiced retroflex sibilant sound /ʂ/, which is distinct from the dental and palatal sibilant sounds in Marathi phonology. It is encoded in the Unicode Standard's Modi block, which supports the preservation and digital representation of this historical script, enabling modern text processing and scholarly research into early Marathi literature and records.
