U+1170C "𑜌" Ahom Letter Tha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑜌
U+1170C "𑜌" Ahom Letter Tha is a character from the Ahom script, which was historically used to write the Ahom language, a Tai language once spoken in the Assam region of northeastern India. This specific letter represents the unvoiced aspirated dental plosive sound "tha," akin to the "th" in the English word "thumb." The Ahom script is a syllabic abugida derived from the Brahmi script, and its usage declined over the centuries as the Ahom people transitioned to speaking Assamese; however, efforts to revive the language and its script, including this character, have been ongoing in modern times. The inclusion of this letter in the Unicode Standard helps preserve and digitally encode this historic writing system for contemporary use.
