U+0998 "ঘ" Bengali Letter Gha is the fourth consonant in the Bengali abugida, representing the aspirated voiced velar plosive sound /ɡʱ/. It is an essential glyph in the Bengali script, used in writing the Bengali language as well as in other languages like Assamese and Meitei, often found in words such as "ঘর" (ghôr, meaning house). As a distinct letter, it is formed by adding a diacritical stroke to its unaspirated counterpart "গ" (Ga), reflecting the structured phonetic logic of the Brahmic script family to which Bengali belongs.
