ᡖ
U+1856 "ᡖ" Mongolian Letter Todo Wa is a specific glyph within the Mongolian script, designed for the Todo (or Clear Script) alphabet, which was developed in the 17th century to more accurately represent the phonetics of the Oirat and Kalmyk languages. This character represents the consonant sound "wa" and is part of a standardized digital encoding that preserves the unique orthographic traditions of these Mongolic languages, distinguishing them from the classical Mongolian script. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for proper text rendering and digital communication in historical and modern contexts, supporting cultural and linguistic heritage among Oirat-speaking communities primarily in Western Mongolia, China, and Russia.
