U+0A27 "ਧ" Gurmukhi Letter Dha is a consonant in the Gurmukhi script, used primarily for writing the Punjabi language. It represents the voiced aspirated dental plosive sound /d̪ʱ/, produced by placing the tongue against the teeth and releasing a burst of air with vocal cord vibration. This letter corresponds to the fourth row and fourth column in the Gurmukhi alphabet, positioning it as a key character for forming words that carry aspirated dental sounds. It is used in both Eastern and Western Punjabi dialects, appearing in religious texts like the Guru Granth Sahib as well as in everyday secular writing, and it plays a significant role in distinguishing meaning from its unaspirated counterpart, the letter "ਦ" (Da).
