Unicode Version 17.0
𑲗
U+11C97 "𑲗" Marchen Subjoined Letter Cha is a glyph from the Marchen script, an ancient Brahmic writing system used historically to write the Zhang-Zhung language of the Tibetan Bon tradition. It represents a subjoined form of the consonant "cha," meaning it is a conjunct character that attaches beneath a preceding base letter to form a ligature or cluster within a syllable. This specific subjoined variant is employed in classical texts, particularly in manuscripts related to Bon religious literature, where it functions to modify the pronunciation or syllabic structure of the base character.
