U+1168B "𑚋" Takri Letter Kha Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑚋

U+1168B "𑚋" Takri Letter Kha is a glyph in the Takri script, a historically significant abugida used primarily in the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent, such as Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, for writing languages like Dogri, Kangri, and Chambiali. This character specifically represents the aspirated voiceless velar plosive consonant sound, similar to the "kh" in the English word "khan," and it sits within the Takri Unicode block, which was added to support the preservation and digital use of this script. The letter "Kha" is the second letter of the Takri alphabet, reflecting its phonetic position and importance in representing the distinct sounds of the languages it was employed for, though its modern usage has largely diminished in favor of Devanagari.
