U+11680 "𑚀" Takri Letter A Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑚀
U+11680 "𑚀" Takri Letter A is a glyph from the Takri script, a historical abugida used primarily in the Himalayan regions of northern India, particularly for writing languages like Dogri, Chambyali, and Kangri. This character represents the vowel sound /ə/ or the inherent vowel in the script, and it serves as an independent vowel letter that can also modify a consonant's sound when used as a diacritic. As part of the Unicode Standard, it was encoded to preserve and enable the digital representation of this script, which was widely used for administration and literature in the region before the adoption of Devanagari and other scripts.
