U+1897 "ᢗ" Mongolian Letter Ali Gali Ah Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᢗ
U+1897 "ᢗ" Mongolian Letter Ali Gali Ah is a specialized glyph from the Mongolian script's Ali Gali extension, used historically to transliterate foreign sounds, particularly from Tibetan and Sanskrit texts. This specific character represents a long "a" vowel sound, distinguished from its short counterpart by a diacritical mark, and was employed in religious and scholarly writings to accurately render non-Mongolian phonetics. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the textual integrity of classical Mongolian documents and Buddhist translations, allowing modern digital systems to correctly display and process this nuanced orthographic detail.
