U+1710 "ᜐ" Tagalog Letter Sa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᜐ
U+1710 "ᜐ" Tagalog Letter Sa is a character from the Baybayin script, which was historically used to write the Tagalog language in the Philippines prior to Spanish colonization. This specific character represents the syllable "sa" in the script, which is an abugida where each character typically denotes a consonant-vowel combination, with inherent vowel sounds that can be modified by diacritical marks. The inclusion of "ᜐ" in the Unicode standard under the Tagalog block helps preserve and digitally represent this ancient writing system, supporting modern efforts to revive and study Baybayin in cultural and educational contexts.
