U+1A11 "ᨑ" Buginese Letter Ra Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1A11 "ᨑ" Buginese Letter Ra is a character from the Buginese script, used historically to write the Buginese language of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This letter represents the sound "ra," functioning as a consonant in the language's syllabic writing system, where each character typically denotes a syllable ending with an inherent vowel "a." The Buginese script, also known as Lontara, is classified as an abugida and is written from left to right, with "ᨑ" being one of its basic letters that can be modified with diacritical marks to indicate other vowels. While the script is no longer widely used for everyday communication, it remains culturally significant in traditional manuscripts, ceremonial contexts, and modern digital encoding to preserve Buginese heritage.
