U+11F04 "𑼄" Kawi Letter A Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑼄
U+11F04 "𑼄" Kawi Letter A is a character from the Kawi script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically used across insular Southeast Asia, including regions of modern-day Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, to write languages such as Old Javanese and Sanskrit. This specific character represents the basic vowel sound /a/, which in the Kawi script functions as an inherent vowel when no explicit vowel sign is attached to a consonant. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that historical inscriptions, palm-leaf manuscripts, and scholarly texts can be accurately digitized and preserved for linguistic and cultural research.
