U+A993 "ꦓ" Javanese Letter Ga Murda Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A993 "ꦓ" Javanese Letter Ga Murda is a specialised glyph used in the Javanese script, an abugida traditionally employed to write the Javanese language in Central and East Java, Indonesia. This character represents the sound "ga" but belongs to the "murda" letter set, which are honorific or royal variants of standard letters, reserved for writing respectful names, titles, or sacred texts. It differs from the standard Javanese letter Ga (ꦒ) in that its form is distinct and carries a higher stylistic or ceremonial register, reflecting the social hierarchy embedded in traditional Javanese writing. When typed or rendered, it requires a Unicode compliant font that supports the Javanese script block to display correctly, and it may change shape when combined with certain diacritical marks for vowels or final consonants.
