U+11929 "𑤩" Dives Akuru Letter Va Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑤩
U+11929 "𑤩" Dives Akuru Letter Va is a character from the Dives Akuru script, an historical abugida used primarily in the Maldives for writing the Dhivehi language and sometimes for Arabic loans, which has since been largely replaced by the Thaana script. This specific character represents the consonant sound "va" and forms a fundamental part of the script's inventory, where each consonant character carries an inherent vowel "a" unless modified by diacritical marks. The Dives Akuru script is noted for its distinctive, angular glyph shapes, and the inclusion of this character in Unicode supports the digital preservation and scholarly study of this endangered historical writing system.
