Unicode Version 17.0

𑲞

U+11C9E "𑲞" Marchen Subjoined Letter Pa is a typographic component of the Marchen script, a historical writing system used primarily in the Tibetan Zhangzhung cultural region to write the extinct Zhangzhung language and associated religious texts. This character is a subjoined form of the consonant "Pa," meaning it appears as a ligature or diacritical element attached below a base consonant character in a syllable cluster, a common feature in Brahmi derived scripts where consonants can stack vertically. Originally devised for the Sanskrit influenced Bonpo tradition, the Marchen script, including this subjoined letter, has been encoded in Unicode to preserve and digitally render ancient manuscripts and inscriptions, ensuring its continued study and accessibility.
