U+1895 "ᢕ" Mongolian Letter Ali Gali Zha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᢕ
U+1895 "ᢕ" Mongolian Letter Ali Gali Zha is a specific glyph used in the Mongolian script to represent a sound borrowed from Sanskrit or Tibetan, typically appearing in religious or scholarly transliterations of foreign texts. It belongs to the Ali Gali subset of Mongolian letters, which were created to accurately transcribe non native sounds, particularly in Buddhist sutras and linguistic works. This character corresponds to a voiced palato alveolar affricate, similar to the "j" sound in English, and is distinct from the standard Mongolian letter for "zha" due to its foreign origin and specialized usage. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures digital preservation and correct rendering of historical Mongolian documents.
