Unicode Version 17.0
ꦄ
U+A984 "ꦄ" Javanese Letter A is a glyph in the Javanese script, an abugida used to write the Javanese language primarily on the island of Java in Indonesia. This specific character represents the basic vowel sound /a/ and functions as an independent vowel, meaning it is not attached to a consonant base as a diacritic would be. It belongs to the Javanese block of Unicode, which was added to support the digital representation of the traditional script, and is visually distinguished by a curved, open top and a vertical stem, reflecting the ornate yet functional calligraphy of Javanese writing.
