Unicode Version 17.0

𑚞

U+1169E "𑚞" Takri Letter Pa is a character in the Takri script, a historical abugida used primarily in the Himalayan regions of northern India, including areas of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Uttarakhand, for writing languages such as Dogri, Chambeali, and Mandeali. This letter represents the sound "pa" and is part of the consonant inventory of the script, which is structured around a base consonant form with inherent vowel "a" that can be modified with diacritical marks for other vowels. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Takri block (U+11680–U+116CF), and it is typically rendered in a flowing, cursive style that reflects the script’s adaptation to writing on materials like birch bark and paper. As a distinct grapheme, "𑚞" contributes to the preservation and digital representation of Takri, which is of cultural and linguistic significance for regional heritage and historical documentation.
