ᱷ
U+1C77 "ᱷ" Ol Chiki Letter Oh is the twenty-ninth letter of the Ol Chiki alphabet, which was specifically created in the early 20th century by Pandit Raghunath Murmu to write the Santali language, an Austroasiatic language spoken primarily in eastern India. This character represents the vowel sound "o" and is a crucial component of the Ol Chiki script, which is designed to be a unique and complete writing system independent of other Indian scripts, reflecting the cultural identity of the Santal people. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that the Ol Chiki script can be used reliably in digital text, supporting the preservation and modern communication of the Santali language.
