U+0B9C "ஜ" Tamil Letter Ja Unicode Character

U+0B9C "ஜ" Tamil Letter Ja is a character in the Tamil script used primarily to represent the sound "ja," which occurs in loanwords, particularly from Sanskrit, English, and other languages, as the inherent Tamil phonological system does not natively include this voiced palatal affricate sound. Unlike many foundational Tamil letters, ஜ is classified as a Grantha character, adopted into the modern Tamil alphabet to accurately transcribe foreign terms and is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Tamil block, allowing for consistent digital representation across platforms.
