U+ABCA "ꯊ" Meetei Mayek Letter Thou is a character from the Meetei Mayek script, which is used to write the Meitei language (also known as Manipuri), an official language of the Indian state of Manipur. This specific letter represents the aspirated voiceless dental plosive sound /tʰ/, akin to the English "th" in "thorn" but with a stronger breath release, and it is part of the script's consonant inventory. The Meetei Mayek script was largely revived in the 20th century and is encoded in the Unicode Standard starting from version 5.2, with U+ABCA occupying a position in the Meetei Mayek block, enabling digital representation and preservation of this indigenous writing system.
