U+11F2E "𑼮" Kawi Letter Wa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11F2E "𑼮" Kawi Letter Wa is a glyph representing the syllable "wa" in the Kawi script, an ancient abugida historically used across maritime Southeast Asia to write Old Javanese, Balinese, and other languages. This character is part of the Kawi block, which was added to Unicode in version 15.0 in 2022 to support the digital preservation of classical texts and inscriptions from the region. Visually, it resembles a stylized circular form with a descending tail, typical of Kawi’s cursive aesthetic, and it functions as a consonant letter with an inherent vowel a, which can be modified by diacritical marks. The inclusion of this letter enables accurate representation of historical manuscripts, such as those found on Javanese temple reliefs or Balinese palm-leaf manuscripts, ensuring that researchers and speakers can encode and share these culturally significant writings in modern digital environments.
