U+A808 "ꠈ" Syloti Nagri Letter Kho Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꠈ
U+A808 "ꠈ" Syloti Nagri Letter Kho is a part of the Syloti Nagri script, which is historically used to write the Sylheti language primarily spoken in the Sylhet region of Bangladesh and parts of northeastern India. This character represents the aspirated consonant sound /kʰ/, similar to the "kh" in the English word "khaki" but with a stronger burst of air, and it corresponds to the Bengali script character "খ" (kho). The Syloti Nagri script was traditionally used in religious and literary texts, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally support this minority language's writing system for modern communication and computing needs.
