Unicode Version 17.0
𑥀
U+11940 "𑥀" Dives Akuru Medial Ya is a character from the Dives Akuru script, a historical abugida used primarily in the Maldives before the adoption of Thaana, representing a medial form of the consonant "ya" that modifies the vowel sound of a preceding syllable. This glyph functions as a diacritic-like sign attached to a base consonant to indicate a ya-phonation or diphthong, specifically used in the writing of the Dives Akuru language to denote a medial 'y' sound. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the unique orthographic features of this extinct script for scholarly and cultural documentation purposes.
