U+1909 "ᤉ" Limbu Letter Jha is a character from the Limbu script, an abugida traditionally used to write the Limbu language spoken primarily in Nepal and parts of India, such as Sikkim and Darjeeling. This specific letter represents the aspirated voiced palato-alveolar affricate sound similar to the "jha" in South Asian languages, and it functions as a consonant in the Limbu writing system, which is read from left to right. The Limbu script, also known as Sirijanga, was revived in the 20th century and is encoded in the Unicode standard to support digital preservation and communication of this indigenous script.
