U+1763 "ᝣ" Tagbanwa Letter Ka Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1763 "ᝣ" Tagbanwa Letter Ka is a character from the Tagbanwa script, which is used traditionally to write the Tagbanwa language, an Austronesian language spoken in the Palawan region of the Philippines. This specific grapheme represents the consonant sound equivalent to the letter "K" in the Latin alphabet. The Tagbanwa script is an abugida, meaning each character inherently carries a vowel sound, typically /a/, and diacritics are employed to modify or suppress that vowel. The letter Ka is part of a writing system that, like several other indigenous Philippine scripts, traces its origins to the Brahmic scripts of South Asia, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally support this endangered linguistic and cultural heritage.
