U+11A7F "ð‘©¿" Soyombo Letter Sha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘©¿
U+11A7F "ð‘©¿" Soyombo Letter Sha is a glyph from the Soyombo script, an abugida historically used in Mongolia and the Himalayas to write Buddhist texts and occasionally the Mongolian language. This particular letter represents the sound "sha" and is part of a larger alphabet designed in the late 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar, who created the script for translating and writing sacred Buddhist scriptures. The Soyombo script includes several unique characters, where each consonant implicitly carries the vowel "a" unless modified by a diacritic, and "Sha" serves as one of its distinctive phonetic components, now primarily preserved in historical and digital typographical contexts rather than common modern use.
