Unicode Version 17.0
𑩹
U+11A79 "𑩹" Soyombo Letter Za is a glyph from the Soyombo script, an abugida historically used for writing the Mongolian and Tibetan languages, most famously in the Soyombo symbol of Mongolian independence. This specific character represents the sound "za" and is part of a larger set of consonants in the script, which is distinguished by its ornate, calligraphic style featuring diagonal strokes and closed loops. The Soyombo script was created in the 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar, although it saw limited practical use and is primarily preserved today in religious and historical texts, as well as in modern digital typography for cultural and decorative purposes.
