U+A946 "ꥆ" Rejang Letter A Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A946 "ꥆ" Rejang Letter A is part of the Rejang script, an abugida historically used to write the Rejang language spoken on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. This specific character represents the inherent vowel /a/ and serves as the first letter in the Rejang alphabet, functioning either as a standalone vowel or as a base to which diacritics are added to modify its sound. The script itself, including this letter, is encoded in the Unicode Standard's "Rejang" block with support added in version 5.1, helping preserve a writing system that is increasingly rare but remains culturally significant for the Rejang people.
