U+A93A "ꤺ" Rejang Letter Ja Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A93A "ꤺ" Rejang Letter Ja is a script character from the Rejang alphabet, used historically to write the Rejang language spoken on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. This character represents the sound for the consonant "ja" and belongs to the Rejang block of the Unicode standard, which encodes the script's letters, syllabic combinations, and diacritics. The Rejang script is an abugida, where each base consonant carries an inherent vowel sound, and character U+A93A specifically denotes the unmodified consonant without following vowel marks. It is part of an endangered writing system, with modern usage largely limited to cultural preservation and scholarly documentation of the Rejang people's linguistic heritage.
