U+A99B "ꦛ" Javanese Letter Tta Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꦛ
U+A99B "ꦛ" Javanese Letter Tta is a script character used in the Javanese writing system, known as Aksara Jawa, to represent the retroflex consonant sound "ṭa" (similar to the hard "t" sound, pronounced with the tongue curled back). This letter is part of the Javanese alphabet's set of consonants, called "aksara nglegena," and is typically used in writing the Javanese language, though it also appears in historical and contemporary texts for other regional languages like Sundanese and Madurese. Its distinct visual form, featuring a rounded top and a downward stroke, reflects the traditional calligraphic style of the script, which is still employed in cultural contexts such as signage, literature, and digital typography.
