U+095F "य़" Devanagari Letter Yya Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+095F "य़" Devanagari Letter Yya is a relatively rare glyph used primarily to represent the specific phonetic sound of a voiced palatal approximant, often corresponding to the Urdu or Persian letter "ye" in loanwords when a distinct, more palatalized version of the standard Devanagari "ya" (य) is needed. It appears in transliterations and scholarly texts for languages like Kashmiri or Sanskrit influenced by Persian, where it distinguishes a softer, more fronted pronunciation, but it is not commonly found in everyday Hindi or standard Devanagari script usage.
