Unicode Version 17.0

𑲮

U+11CAE "𑲮" Marchen Subjoined Letter Ha is a glyph used in the Marchen script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically employed to write the Zhangzhung language in the Tibetan cultural sphere. This specific character represents the consonant sound "ha" in a subjoined or conjunct form, meaning it is designed to attach beneath another base consonant to create a ligature or complex syllable. In the Unicode Standard, it belongs to the Marchen block and is typically rendered as a small, stylized mark below its preceding character, serving a critical role in accurately transcribing the phonetics of the Zhangzhung language, which is particularly important for preserving texts related to the Bon religious tradition.
