U+A9A2 "ꦢ" Javanese Letter Da Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A9A2 "ꦢ" Javanese Letter Da is a symbol representing the voiced dental stop consonant "d" in the Javanese script, an abugida historically used to write the Javanese language on the Indonesian island of Java. This character belongs to the Javanese block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to support digital representation of the script's forty basic letters, known as *aksara*, along with their associated vowel diacritics and punctuation. In the traditional arrangement of the Javanese alphabet, Da occupies a specific place among the letters and, like all *aksara*, can be modified with *sandhangan* (diacritical marks) to change its inherent vowel sound from the default "a" to other vowels. The letter is culturally significant as part of a writing system still used in ceremonial contexts, traditional literature, and modern digital communication among Javanese-speaking communities.
