U+1839 "ᠹ" Mongolian Letter Fa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᠹ
U+1839 "ᠹ" Mongolian Letter Fa is a character used in the traditional Mongolian script to represent the sound /f/, which is primarily employed in loanwords from languages such as Chinese, Tibetan, and Russian, as the native Mongolian phonetic inventory does not typically include the labiodental fricative. This letter is part of the Mongolian block in Unicode and is written vertically in traditional Mongolian text, aligning with the script's unique left to right top to bottom orientation. It plays a specific role in accurately transcribing foreign terms, especially in historical and religious documents, though its usage is less common than other Mongolian letters due to its specialized function.
