Unicode Version 17.0

U+A864 "ꡤ" Phags-Pa Letter Fa is a character from the Phags-Pa script, a historical alphabet created in the 13th century during the Yuan Dynasty in China to uniformly write multiple languages, including Mongolian, Chinese, and Tibetan. This specific letter, Fa, represents a consonant sound likely related to the modern "f" phoneme, though the script was designed for the phonetic and syllabic needs of the time. The Phags-Pa script is named after its inventor, the Tibetan Buddhist monk and statesman Drogön Chögyal Phagpa, and was used in official inscriptions, seals, and religious texts. U+A864 belongs to the Phags-Pa Unicode block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to preserve and digitally represent this historically significant writing system.
