U+11A0E "𑨎" Zanabazar Square Letter Gha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑨎
U+11A0E "𑨎" Zanabazar Square Letter Gha is a specific glyph used in the Zanabazar Square script, an abugida devised in the late 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar for writing liturgical texts in Tibetan and Sanskrit. This particular character represents the aspirated voiced velar plosive sound, akin to the "gh" in "ghost," and is part of a script designed to accurately transcribe the phonetics of Buddhist scriptures. The Zanabazar Square script, characterized by its square, geometric letterforms, was historically used in Mongolian monasteries but fell out of common use, though it has been encoded in Unicode to preserve its cultural and linguistic heritage for digital documentation and scholarly study.
