Source: Browser Default
U+0B5C "ଡ଼" Oriya Letter Rra is a distinct consonant used in the Odia script, primarily to represent a retroflex flap sound that occurs in certain loanwords and specific native vernacular contexts. It is historically derived from the combination of the regular letter "Ra" with a diacritic mark, and its usage is less common than the standard retroflex consonant, often appearing in words borrowed from Sanskrit, Persian, or Arabic or in onomatopoeic expressions. Visually, the character resembles the standard Oriya "Ra" but includes an extra horizontal stroke or tail that differentiates its pronunciation.
