Unicode Version 17.0
ꬋ
U+AB0B "ꬋ" Ethiopic Syllable Ddhaa is a specialized glyph within the Ethiopic Extended-A block, representing a syllable used in the Gurage languages of Ethiopia. This character corresponds to the sound "ddhaa," a voiced retroflex or emphatic dental consonant followed by a long "aa" vowel, distinguishing it from simpler consonants in the standard Ethiopic syllabary. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard supports the accurate digital representation and preservation of Gurage linguistic traditions, facilitating text encoding for scripts that are not part of the core Ethiopic set.
