U+11A89 "𑪉" Soyombo Cluster-Initial Letter Sa Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑪉

U+11A89 "𑪉" Soyombo Cluster-Initial Letter Sa is part of the Soyombo script, an abugida historically used in Mongolian and Tibetan Buddhist contexts, most famously on the Soyombo symbol of Mongolia. This specific character represents the consonant "sa" and serves as a cluster initial letter, meaning it appears at the beginning of a consonant cluster within a syllable, rather than as an independent or standalone consonant. It was encoded in Unicode version 10.0 in 2017 as part of a larger effort to preserve and digitize the Soyombo script, which was primarily used for writing religious texts and inscriptions from the 17th to 19th centuries. The character’s design, like others in the Soyombo block, features distinctive vertical and angular strokes that blend Tibetan and Mongolian calligraphic influences.
