U+1C4E "ᱎ" Lepcha Letter Ttha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᱎ
U+1C4E "ᱎ" Lepcha Letter Ttha is a symbol from the Lepcha script, which is used to write the Lepcha language spoken primarily in Sikkim, India, and parts of Nepal and Bhutan. This specific character represents the aspirated voiceless retroflex stop sound, roughly equivalent to the "th" sound in English "thumb" but with the tongue curled back. It is part of the Lepcha alphabet’s set of consonants and follows the traditional syllabic structure of the script, where each consonant symbol carries an inherent vowel. The character is encoded in Unicode’s Lepcha block, which was added to support the digital preservation and modern use of this endangered language.
