𑼪
U+11F2A "𑼪" Kawi Letter Ma is a character from the Kawi script, an ancient writing system used historically across maritime Southeast Asia, particularly in regions like Java, Bali, and Sumatra, to write Old Javanese, Sanskrit, and other languages. This specific glyph represents the consonant sound "ma" and forms part of the Kawi script's syllabic inventory, which was fundamental in inscribing religious, legal, and literary texts on stone and palm-leaf manuscripts from around the 8th to the 16th century. Encoded in Unicode’s Kawi block released in 2022 under version 15.0, the character is essential for digital preservation of historical documents and supports academic research and cultural heritage efforts for Southeast Asian epigraphy.
