U+1707 "ᜇ" Tagalog Letter Da Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᜇ
U+1707 "ᜇ" Tagalog Letter Da is a script character from the Baybayin or Alibata script, traditionally used to write the Tagalog language before the adoption of the Latin alphabet. This character represents the syllable "da" in the pre colonial Philippine writing system, and its shape features a distinctive open loop that helps identify it among other syllabic characters in the script. While Baybayin saw a decline in everyday use after the Spanish colonial period, U+1707 has been preserved in modern Unicode to support cultural heritage, digital text representation, and revival efforts for indigenous Filipino scripts.
