U+11A5F "ð‘©Ÿ" Soyombo Letter Gha Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð‘©Ÿ

U+11A5F "ð‘©Ÿ" Soyombo Letter Gha is a glyph from the Soyombo script, an abugida created by the Mongolian Buddhist scholar Zanabazar in the late 17th century, primarily used to write Mongolian, Tibetan, and Sanskrit for religious texts. This particular character represents the voiced velar plosive consonant sound "gha," akin to the "gh" in English "ghost," and is typically found in transliterations of foreign words, especially those from Sanskrit. The Soyombo script is distinguished by its ornate, flowing calligraphic style and is most famously featured in the Soyombo symbol, a national emblem of Mongolia. While the script is not in everyday use, it has been encoded in Unicode as part of a broader effort to preserve historical and minority writing systems.
