U+1C72 "ᱲ" Ol Chiki Letter Err Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᱲ
U+1C72 "ᱲ" Ol Chiki Letter Err is a symbol from the Ol Chiki script, which was created in the early 20th century by Pandit Raghunath Murmu for writing the Santali language, spoken by the Santal people of eastern India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. This specific character, known as "Err," represents a voiced retroflex flap sound, a phoneme that is integral to Santali phonology. Ol Chiki, used in education, literature, and official contexts for Santali, is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Ol Chiki block with a range from U+1C50 to U+1C7F, and U+1C72 serves as a distinct graphic glyph for this unique linguistic unit, helping to preserve and promote Santali language and culture in digital environments.
