Unicode Version 17.0

𑨾

U+11A3E "𑨾" Zanabazar Square Cluster-Final Letter Va is a special form of the letter "va" used exclusively at the end of a consonant cluster in the Zanabazar Square script, a historical abugida developed in the 17th century in Mongolia to write Buddhist texts in Sanskrit and Tibetan. This character does not represent the full, stand-alone sound of "va" but instead functions as a modified cluster-final variant that closes a sequence of consonants within a syllable, ensuring the script's glyphs align with the complex orthographic rules of languages like Sanskrit. As part of the Zanabazar Square block in Unicode, this letter helps preserve the accurate digital representation of rare manuscripts, where precise syllabic boundaries are crucial for maintaining the original pronunciation and textual integrity.
