U+1B90 "ᮐ" Sundanese Letter Za is a distinct glyph used in the modern standard orthography of the Sundanese language, which is spoken by the Sundanese people primarily in the western part of Java, Indonesia. It represents the voiced alveolar sibilant sound similar to the English "z" as in "zebra," filling a gap in the traditional Sundanese script to accurately transcribe loanwords from Arabic, Dutch, and other languages. This character is part of the Sundanese Unicode block, which was introduced to preserve and facilitate the digital use of the traditional script, allowing for proper representation of Sundanese literature, education, and cultural identity in modern computing environments.
