U+189D "ᢝ" Mongolian Letter Manchu Ali Gali Jha is a specific glyph used primarily in historical or specialized transcriptions of the Mongolian script, particularly within the Manchu and Ali Gali systems for writing Sanskrit, Tibetan, and other foreign languages phonetically in Mongolian script. This character represents a conjunct sound akin to "jha" and is part of a broader set of extended Mongolian letters designed to accurately render non-native phonemes in religious or liturgical texts, often associated with Buddhist translations.
