U+11C2B "ð‘°«" Bhaiksuki Letter Sha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘°«
U+11C2B "ð‘°«" Bhaiksuki Letter Sha is a glyph from the Bhaiksuki script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically used in parts of South Asia, particularly for writing Buddhist texts in Sanskrit between the 8th and 11th centuries CE. This specific character represents the consonant sound "sha", making it an essential component of the script's syllabic inventory. Bhaiksuki itself is notable for its angular, calligraphic forms, and the Letter Sha exemplifies this stylistic attribute with its distinctive curved and vertical strokes. As a result, this character serves not only a phonetic role in the script but also contributes to the scholarly reconstruction and digital preservation of a lesser-known cultural and linguistic heritage.
