Unicode Version 17.0
ᠵ
U+1835 "ᠵ" Mongolian Letter Ja is a specific grapheme within the Mongolian script block, representing the voiced postalveolar affricate sound /dʒ/ or /tʃ/ depending on dialect and context, similar to the English "j" as in "jump". It is used in the traditional Mongolian alphabet, primarily for writing the Mongolian language as well as several other languages such as Manchu and Xibe. This character is encoded for digital text processing to preserve and support the vertical writing system of the script, which remains culturally significant in Inner Mongolia and parts of Central Asia. Its precise linguistic role can vary based on vowel harmony rules and positional forms within words.
