U+11EE5 "𑻥" Makasar Letter Ma Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑻥
U+11EE5 "𑻥" Makasar Letter Ma is a symbol from the Makasar script, an ancient Brahmic-derived writing system historically used to write the Makassarese language of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This specific character represents the consonant sound "ma" and is one of many letters in the Makasar syllabary, which features unique elongated and angular glyph shapes. The script was primarily used for writing historical manuscripts, royal documents, and traditional literature on palm leaves before being largely supplanted by the Latin alphabet. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve this endangered script for modern digital use and linguistic research.
