U+11C10 "𑰐" Bhaiksuki Letter Ga Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑰐
U+11C10 "𑰐" Bhaiksuki Letter Ga is a glyph representing the consonant "ga" in the Bhaiksuki script, which was historically used from roughly the 6th to the 10th centuries CE to write Buddhist Sanskrit texts found primarily in India and Central Asia. This script is classified as an abugida where each character inherently includes a vowel sound, and the letter Ga specifically corresponds to the velar stop /g/ sound. Its visual form is characterized by angular, sweeping strokes, reflecting the calligraphic style of its era. The character was added to the Unicode Standard in version 9.0, released in 2016, as part of a concerted effort to digitally preserve and encode historical writing systems.
