U+1B45 "ᭅ" Balinese Letter Kaf Sasak Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1B45 "ᭅ" Balinese Letter Kaf Sasak is a specific glyph used in the Balinese script to represent the consonant sound “ka,” but it is particularly designated for writing the Sasak language, which is spoken on the island of Lombok. This letter is part of the Balinese Unicode block and follows the traditional Brahmic script structure, with its distinctive curved form that aids in shaping the syllable blocks typical of Balinese writing. While it shares similarities with the standard Balinese letter Ka, the Kaf Sasak variant has a unique diacritic-like modification or stylistic difference that marks it as specific to Sasak orthography. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that the digital representation of this regional language is preserved, allowing for proper text rendering and linguistic documentation in modern computing environments.
