U+11C80 "𑲀" Marchen Letter Ba is a symbol from the Marchen script, a historical abugida used to write the Zhangzhung and Tibetan languages, primarily in the ancient kingdom of Zhangzhung in western Tibet. This character represents the syllable "ba" and is part of the Marchen block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2017 with version 11.0 to support the transcription of sacred Bon and Buddhist texts. Its design features a distinct open-topped structure with a horizontal bar and a curved lower stroke, reflecting the script’s connection to the broader Brahmic family of writing systems.
