U+11920 "𑤠" Dives Akuru Letter Pa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘¤
U+11920 "𑤠" Dives Akuru Letter Pa is a character from the Dives Akuru script, an ancient writing system historically used in the Maldives to inscribe the Dhivehi language on copperplate grants and other documents, and it represents the syllable "pa." This script, which fell out of common use by the early 20th century, was adapted from earlier Brahmi-derived scripts of South Asia, and the letter "Pa" serves as a phonetic building block within its syllabic alphabet shape. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard since version 13.0 in 2020 helps preserve and digitally support this endangered script for scholarly research and cultural heritage efforts.
