Source: Browser Default
U+095D "ढ़" Devanagari Letter Rha is a specific glyph in the Devanagari script, representing a voiced retroflex flap sound, used primarily in transliterating sounds from other languages, such as Arabic and Persian, into Hindi and other languages written in Devanagari. It is a consonant distinct from the standard retroflex series and appears in words like "ढ़ोल" (dhol, a type of drum) and in writing the English-influenced sound for "d" in terms like "पैड" (pad). This character is not commonly found in native Sanskrit vocabulary but is essential for accurately representing loanwords and certain regional pronunciations in modern Indic scripts.
