U+11A24 "𑨤" Zanabazar Square Letter Tsha Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑨤

U+11A24 "𑨤" Zanabazar Square Letter Tsha is a glyph from the Zanabazar Square script, an abugida invented in the 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar for writing Mongolian, Tibetan, and Sanskrit, particularly in religious and scholarly contexts. This specific character represents the aspirated voiceless postalveolar affricate sound /t͡ʃʰ/, akin to the "ch" sound in English "church" but with a strong breathy release, and it is directly derived from the Tibetan letter "ཚ". As part of the Zanabazar Square block, it was encoded in Unicode 10.0 in 2017 to support the digital preservation of this historical script, which is notable for its square, geometric letterforms designed to resemble Tibetan script while being visually distinct.
