Unicode Version 17.0

𑜝

U+1171D "𑜝" Ahom Consonant Sign Medial La is a diacritical mark used in the Ahom script, which was historically employed to write the Ahom language, an extinct Tai language once spoken in the Brahmaputra Valley of present-day Assam, India. This character functions as a medial consonant sign, specifically representing the sound of an "la" that appears within a syllable between an initial consonant and a vowel. In the Ahom writing system, medial consonant signs like this one are visually distinct from standalone consonants and are typically written as a modifying mark attached to the main consonant symbol. The Ahom script and its characters, including U+1171D, are encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Ahom block, which was added to support the digital preservation and study of this historical script.
