Unicode Version 17.0

𑚚

U+1169A "𑚚" Takri Letter Tha is a glyph representing the aspirated voiceless dental plosive sound "tha" in the Takri script, an abugida historically used to write several languages in the Himalayan region, including Dogri, Kinnauri, and Chamba. This character is part of the Takri block in Unicode, which was added to support the digital representation of this endangered script for modern computing. The letter itself is derived from the Takri script's inventory of consonants, where each character typically conveys an inherent vowel sound unless modified by diacritics. As a component of the written tradition in parts of northern India and Pakistan, the Takri Letter Tha is essential for accurately transcribing and preserving regional literature, administrative records, and religious texts. Its inclusion in Unicode helps ensure that the script can be used in digital communication, research, and cultural preservation efforts.
