U+A894 "ꢔ" Saurashtra Letter Ga Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꢔ
U+A894 "ꢔ" Saurashtra Letter Ga is a character from the Saurashtra script, which was historically used to write the Saurashtra language in parts of southern India, particularly Tamil Nadu, and represents the consonant sound "ga" as in "garden". This script is encoded in Unicode version 5.1 and is primarily used today in religious and cultural contexts, as the language itself is largely ceremonial outside of older texts. The character forms part of a larger set of Saurashtra letters that follow an abugida structure, where inherent vowels are modified by diacritics, making "ꢔ" a basic building block for spelling many Saurashtra words.
