Unicode Version 17.0
ᤚ
U+191A "ᤚ" Limbu Letter Ssa is a specific symbol from the Limbu script, which is used to write the Limbu language spoken primarily in eastern Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan. This character represents a retroflex sibilant sound, similar to the "sh" sound in English but articulated with the tongue curled back, distinguishing it from other sibilants in the Limbu phonetic inventory. The Limbu script itself is an abugida descended from the Tibetan script and was revitalized by the Limbu scholar Te-ongsi Sirijanga in the 18th century, with U+191A playing a role in the accurate representation of Limbu words and names in digital text.
