U+AAE5 "ꫥ" Meetei Mayek Letter Ttha is a symbol from the Meetei Mayek script, which is used to write the Meitei language, spoken primarily in the Indian state of Manipur. This specific character represents the aspirated voiceless retroflex plosive sound /ʈʰa/, akin to the "ttha" sound found in some South Asian languages. It is part of the modern Meetei Mayek alphabet, which was revived and standardized in the 20th century to replace the Bengali script for writing Meitei, and it appears in the Unicode Standard under the Meetei Mayek block, enabling digital text representation and preservation of the language's cultural heritage.
