Unicode Version 17.0

𑨟

U+11A1F "𑨟" Zanabazar Square Letter Pha is a glyph from the Zanabazar Square script, an abugida created in the 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar to transcribe sacred Buddhist texts, particularly in Tibetan and Sanskrit. This letter represents the aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive sound /pʰ/, akin to the English "p" in "pin" but with a stronger burst of air. Zanabazar Square is notable for its elegant, geometric shape and was designed to be a more precise and sacred alternative to other scripts used for religious writing, though it fell into disuse after a few centuries.
