U+0A1B "ਛ" Gurmukhi Letter Cha is the thirty-second character in the Gurmukhi script, representing the aspirated voiceless palatal affricate sound /tʃʰ/, similar to the "ch" in the English word "chat" but pronounced with a strong puff of air. It is used primarily in the Punjabi language, where it functions as a distinctive consonant in both its written and spoken forms, appearing in words such as "ਛੱਤ" (chhat) meaning roof. This letter is integral to the Gurmukhi alphabet, which is employed in Sikh scripture, literary works, and daily communication in the Punjab region, and its shape is characterized by a curved top stroke descending into a vertical line.
