Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘š
U+116A0 "𑚠" Takri Letter Ba is a character from the Takri script, an abugida historically used to write languages such as Dogri, Kangri, and Chambiali in the northern Indian regions of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab. This character represents the consonant sound "ba" and belongs to a script that is a descendant of the Sharada alphabet, which itself originated from the Brahmi script. The Takri script was commonly employed for administrative and everyday writing before being largely replaced by Devanagari and Gurmukhi, and this particular letter is part of the Unicode Standard’s efforts to preserve and digitally encode endangered historical scripts.
