U+11A25 "𑨥" Zanabazar Square Letter Dza Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11A25 "𑨥" Zanabazar Square Letter Dza is a script character representing a specific consonant sound in the Zanabazar Square alphabet, an abugida created in the late 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar to write Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Mongolian languages. Its glyph resembles a stylized vertical rectangle with an upper leftward hook and a lower rightward projection, following the square, geometric design principles of the script. This character is used to transcribe the voiced affricate sound /d͡z/ (similar to the "ds" in "lids") found in Sanskrit and other South Asian languages, particularly in Buddhist liturgical texts and manuscripts. Encoded in Unicode version 10.0 (2017), "𑨥" belongs to the Zanabazar Square block (U+11A00–U+11A4F) and is typically written from left to right, contributing to the preservation of classical Mongolian and Tibetan religious literature.
