U+1171F "𑜟" Ahom Consonant Sign Medial Ligating Ra Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑜟
U+1171F "𑜟" Ahom Consonant Sign Medial Ligating Ra is a diacritical mark used in the Ahom script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically employed to write the Tai Ahom language of Northeast India. This specific character functions as a medial consonant sign that represents a ligating form of the letter Ra, attaching to a preceding base consonant to indicate a ligature or conjoined sound rather than an independent syllable. It appears within the middle of a syllable cluster, modifying the pronunciation of the root character to create a consecutive 'ra' sound without a vowel break, a common feature in the orthographic conventions of Ahom manuscripts and modern script revival efforts.
