U+1A39 "ᨹ" Tai Tham Letter High Pha is a letter used in the Tai Tham script, an abugida traditionally employed to write the Northern Thai (Lanna), Tai Lue, and Khün languages. This specific character represents the aspirated voiceless bilabial stop sound /pʰ/, and it belongs to the high class of consonants, which influences the tone of the syllable in tonal languages. It is typographically distinct from its low class counterpart and is often encountered in historical palm-leaf manuscripts, religious texts, and modern digital contexts where the Tai Tham script is preserved for cultural and linguistic purposes.
