U+118BD "𑢽" Warang Citi Capital Letter Ssuu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+118BD "𑢽" Warang Citi Capital Letter Ssuu is a script character from the Warang Citi alphabet, which was created in the 20th century by the notable Varang Kshiti leader Lako Bodra to write the Ho language, an Austroasiatic language spoken primarily by the Ho people in eastern India. This specific character represents the capital form of the letter "Ssuu," used to transcribe a particular voiced retroflex or sibilant sound unique to Ho phonology. The Warang Citi script is designed as a clear, geometric alphabet distinct from the more common Devanagari and Latin scripts, and it serves both as a practical writing system and as a cultural symbol of identity and heritage for the Ho community. The inclusion of this letter in the Unicode standard helps preserve and facilitate the digital use of this endangered indigenous script.
