U+A9A1 "ꦡ" Javanese Letter Ta Murda Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A9A1 "ꦡ" Javanese Letter Ta Murda is a glyph from the Javanese script block used to write the Javanese language and other regional languages of Indonesia. The character represents the consonant "Ta" in its "murda" or honorific form, which is a special variant of the standard letter "ta" historically reserved for writing respectful or sacred names, such as those of deities, royalty, or revered figures. In modern usage, while the distinction between regular and murda letters has diminished, Ta Murda still appears in traditional texts and orthographic systems that preserve the script's classical conventions, and its shape is distinctly taller and more ornate compared to its standard counterpart.
