U+1841 "ᡁ" Mongolian Letter Zhi Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1841 "ᡁ" Mongolian Letter Zhi is a specific glyph used in the traditional Mongolian script, representing a consonant sound found in loanwords, particularly from Tibetan and Sanskrit, where it corresponds to the voiced retroflex affricate or a similar palatalized sound. Part of the Mongolian Unicode block, this character appears in the Todo (Clear Script) variant of Mongolian orthography, which was developed in the 17th century to more precisely represent phonetic distinctions. Its visual form is a curled or looped shape, distinct from standard Mongolian letters, and it is employed primarily in historical or religious texts, such as Buddhist translations, rather than in everyday modern Mongolian writing.
