𑚥

U+116A5 "𑚥" Takri Letter La is a character from the Takri script, an ancient abugida historically used in the Himalayan regions of India, including Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, to write languages like Dogri, Kangri, and Chamba. This specific glyph represents the consonant sound "la" and belongs to the Takri block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to support digital encoding and preservation of this script. The character is designed with a distinctive curved shape typical of Takri letterforms, and it functions similarly to other Indic scripts by combining with vowel diacritics to form syllables. Its inclusion in Unicode enables modern text processing and historical manuscript digitization for the languages that utilize the Takri script.
