Unicode Version 17.0

𑜏

U+1170F "𑜏" Ahom Letter Sa is a character from the Ahom script, which was historically used to write the Ahom language, a Tai language spoken in the Assam region of Northeast India. This character represents the voiceless alveolar sibilant sound /s/ and is part of a script derived from the Brahmi writing system, primarily used in medieval manuscripts for recording religious, historical, and legal texts. The Ahom script, including the letter Sa, fell out of common use but has seen revitalization efforts in modern times for cultural and educational purposes, with its inclusion in Unicode helping to preserve digital accessibility for this endangered script.
