U+1C21 "ᰡ" Lepcha Letter Sha is a glyph representing the consonant "sha" in the Lepcha script, which is used to write the Lepcha language spoken primarily in parts of Sikkim, India, and adjacent regions of Nepal and Bhutan. This letter corresponds to a voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant sound, similar to the "sh" in the English word "shut."
