U+176B "ᝫ" Tagbanwa Letter Ma is a symbol from the Tagbanwa script, an abugida historically used to write the Tagbanwa and Palawan languages in the Philippines. This character specifically represents the syllable "ma," consisting of the consonant "m" sound combined with an inherent vowel "a." Tagbanwa itself is an ancient script related to other Brahmic-derived writing systems of Southeast Asia, and while it is still known and studied today, its active use has declined significantly in favor of the Latin alphabet.
