U+11923 "𑤣" Dives Akuru Letter Bha is a glyph from the Dives Akuru script, an alphasyllabary historically used to write the Maldivian language in the southern atolls of the Maldives before the adoption of the modern Thaana script. This specific character represents the voiced bilabial aspirated consonant sound "bha" and is part of a collection of Dives Akuru letters that were encoded in the Unicode Standard to preserve and support digital use of this endangered historical script. The Dives Akuru script, which dates back to at least the 13th century, is now primarily of interest to scholars, linguists, and cultural heritage preservationists working with ancient Maldivian manuscripts and inscriptions.
