Unicode Version 17.0
ꡅ
U+A845 "ꡅ" Phags-Pa Letter Cha is a specific glyph from the Phags-pa script, an alphasyllabary created in the 13th century during the Yuan dynasty of China to write multiple languages, including Mongolian, Chinese, and Sanskrit. This character represents the sound "cha" and belongs to the Phags-pa block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to enable digital representation and exchange of this historic script. The Phags-pa script itself was devised by the Tibetan monk Drogön Chögyal Phagpa at the command of Kublai Khan and is notable for its vertical writing direction and distinct, angular letterforms derived from Tibetan writing, with U+A845 being one of its consonant letters used to transliterate foreign terms and native words alike.
