U+11F1A "𑼚" Kawi Letter Jha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑼚
U+11F1A "𑼚" Kawi Letter Jha is a glyph from the Kawi script, an ancient writing system used across maritime Southeast Asia, particularly in Java, Bali, and Sumatra, from around the 8th to the 16th century. This specific letter represents the voiced aspirated palatal plosive sound "jha," which is common in many South and Southeast Asian languages, and it belongs to the Kawi block of Unicode, added in version 15.0 in 2022 to preserve historical epigraphy and literature. The Kawi script itself is a Brahmi-derived abugida, and this character is crucial for accurately transcribing Old Javanese, Sanskrit, and other texts inscribed on stone and copper plates, reflecting the region's rich linguistic heritage.
