𑼬
U+11F2C "𑼬" Kawi Letter Ra is a glyph from the Kawi script, an ancient writing system used across maritime Southeast Asia, particularly in regions like Java, Bali, and Sumatra, to write Old Javanese and other languages between the 8th and 16th centuries. This character represents the consonant sound "ra" and is part of the Kawi block added to the Unicode Standard in version 17.0 in 2022, which supports the digital preservation of historical inscriptions and manuscripts. The Kawi Letter Ra, like other characters in this script, features distinctive curved and angular strokes that reflect its origins in Brahmi-derived scripts, and it is used in modern contexts for research, linguistic study, and cultural heritage documentation.
