U+1168A "𑚊" Takri Letter Ka Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑚊
U+1168A "𑚊" Takri Letter Ka is a character in the Takri script, an abugida historically used for writing several languages of the Himalayan region, including Dogri, Kangri, and Chambiali. This specific character represents the consonant sound "ka," the first letter of the Takri syllabary, and is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Takri block (U+11680–U+116CF). As with other Brahmic scripts, this letter carries an inherent vowel sound, typically a short "a," unless modified by a diacritic sign. The inclusion of U+1168A in Unicode helps preserve and digitize this endangered script, facilitating its use in modern computing and enabling the digital documentation of historical manuscripts and contemporary texts.
