𑨮

U+11A2E "𑨮" Zanabazar Square Letter Sha is a letter in the Zanabazar Square script, which was historically used in the early 18th century for writing liturgical texts in the Mongolian language, as well as Tibetan and Sanskrit, especially within Buddhist traditions. This specific character represents the sound "sha" and belongs to a unique, square-shaped abugida script that was designed to facilitate the accurate and aesthetically balanced transcription of Indo Tibetan sacred texts.
