Unicode Version 17.0
ᩕ
U+1A55 "ᩕ" Tai Tham Consonant Sign Medial Ra is a combining mark used in the Tai Tham script, which is historically employed for writing languages such as Northern Thai (Lan Na), Tai Lü, and Khün. This sign is placed above or adjacent to a consonant to indicate a medial /r/ sound, serving as a diacritic rather than an independent letter. It is part of the Tai Tham block in Unicode, encoded specifically for digital representation of this script, and its proper rendering requires a font that supports complex text layout due to its positional dependence on the base character.
