U+119C3 "𑧃" Nandinagari Letter Pha is a character from the Nandinagari script, an ancient abugida historically used in southern India for writing Sanskrit and other languages, particularly in regions like Karnataka. This specific character represents the aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive sound /pʰə/, akin to the "ph" sound in the English word "uphill" but without the fricative quality, and holds significance in the transcription of texts. It was encoded in Unicode version 12.0 in 2019 as part of a block dedicated to preserving this historical script for scholarly and linguistic purposes.
