𑩨
U+11A68 "𑩨" Soyombo Letter Dda is part of the Soyombo script, a historical abugida created in the 17th century by the Mongolian Buddhist monk Zanabazar to primarily write Mongolian, Tibetan, and Sanskrit. This particular character represents the sound "dda," a voiced retroflex stop consonant distinct from the dental "da," and is used in the transliteration of sacred Buddhist texts and indigenous Mongolian words. The Soyombo script itself is highly decorative and calligraphic, most famously featured in the national symbol of Mongolia, and this letter contributes to the script's unique cultural and spiritual significance.
