𑱳

U+11C73 "𑱳" Marchen Letter Kha is a glyph representing the aspirated voiceless velar plosive sound /kʰ/ in the Marchen script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically used to write the Zhangzhung language in the Tibetan cultural sphere. This script is most notably preserved in manuscripts from the kingdom of Zhangzhung, which predated Tibetan Buddhism's establishment in the Himalayas. The Marchen Letter Kha is part of a broader Unicode block dedicated to the script, encoded to aid in the digital preservation and scholarly study of this historical language and its unique orthographic traditions. Its visual form typically features a distinctive curved structure with an added stroke to indicate aspiration, distinguishing it from the unaspirated Marchen Letter Ka.
