U+AA14 "ꨔ" Cham Letter Tha Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+AA14 "ꨔ" Cham Letter Tha is a character from the Cham script used to represent the sound /tʰ/ in languages like Eastern and Western Cham, which are Austronesian languages spoken by the Cham people in parts of Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand. This character belongs to the Cham block of Unicode introduced in version 5.1 in 2008, and it functions as a consonant letter in the script's abugida system, where it carries an inherent vowel /a/ unless modified by a diacritic. Its visual form reflects the distinctive curled and looping calligraphic style of the Cham script, which has historical roots in ancient Indian writing systems.
