U+11706 "𑜆" Ahom Letter Pa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑜆
U+11706 "𑜆" Ahom Letter Pa is a character from the Ahom script, which was historically used to write the Ahom language spoken by the Tai ethnic group in the Assam region of northeastern India. This specific character represents the consonant sound "pa" and is part of a script that primarily recorded the history, religion, and literature of the Ahom kingdom, which thrived from the 13th to the 19th century. The Ahom script fell into disuse after the decline of the Ahom dynasty, but there have been modern revival efforts to preserve it, and its inclusion in Unicode helps ensure its digital survival for future linguistic research and cultural heritage.
