U+11811 "𑠑" Dogra Letter Ja Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑠑

U+11811 "𑠑" Dogra Letter Ja is a glyph representing the consonant "ja" in the Dogra script, a historically significant writing system used for the Dogri language in the northern Indian region of Jammu and Kashmir. This character is part of the Dogra block in Unicode, which was added to support the preservation and digital representation of this endangered script that flourished from the 18th to the early 20th century for courtly and literary documents. As a specific symbol, "𑠑" corresponds to the sound /dʒ/ similar to the English "j" in "jump", and it follows the inherent vowel "a" as in other Brahmic scripts unless modified by a diacritic. Its inclusion in Unicode helps scholars and speakers encode historical manuscripts and modern Dogri texts, ensuring the script's cultural legacy can be maintained in digital environments.
