Unicode Version 17.0
ᩝ
U+1A5D "ᩝ" Tai Tham Consonant Sign Ba is a diacritical mark used in the Tai Tham script, which is traditionally employed for writing several languages of Southeast Asia, such as Northern Thai (Lanna), Tai Lü, and Khün. This character functions as a consonant sign that modifies the pronunciation of a base consonant to produce a "ba" sound, distinct from the inherent vowel of the script. It is an essential component for accurately representing certain lexical items and phonetic nuances in texts written with the Tai Tham script, particularly those from historical manuscripts or modern revival efforts in regions like northern Thailand, Laos, and parts of Myanmar and China.
