Unicode Version 17.0
ꦬ
U+A9AC "ꦬ" Javanese Letter Ra Agung is a special glyph used in the Javanese script, primarily found in historical and literary contexts rather than in modern everyday writing. It represents an honorific or reverential form of the letter "ra," where "agung" means great or exalted, and it was traditionally employed to show respect when writing the names of deities, royalty, or sacred texts. This character is part of the Javanese block in Unicode and appears as a distinct ligature or variant of the standard letter "ra," reflecting the script's rich cultural and hierarchical nuances in traditional Javanese manuscript culture.
