U+1BBD "ᮽ" Sundanese Letter Bha is a grapheme used in the Sundanese script to represent the aspirated "bha" sound, specifically the voiced bilabial plosive with an aspirated quality, and it is part of the Sundanese block added to Unicode in version 5.1 in 2008. This letter is primarily employed in writing the Sundanese language, which is spoken by millions on the island of Java in Indonesia, and it appears in historical and modern texts to accurately transcribe loanwords or native terms that require this phonetic distinction. Its inclusion helps preserve the orthographic richness of the script, which has roots in the Brahmic family and was revitalized for contemporary digital communication.
