U+11CAB "𑲫" Marchen Subjoined Letter La Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑲫
U+11CAB "𑲫" Marchen Subjoined Letter La is a script-specific glyph used in the Marchen alphabet, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically employed to write the Zhangzhung language in the Himalayan region. This character represents a subjoined form of the consonant "La," meaning it appears attached below another base letter within a syllable, functioning as a conjunct component rather than an independent character. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard preserves the typographic detail necessary for accurate digital representation of Marchen manuscripts, which are significant for studying the cultural and religious history of Tibet and the Bon tradition.
