U+0C59 "ౙ" Telugu Letter Dza Unicode Character

U+0C59 "ౙ" Telugu Letter Dza is a specific glyph within the Telugu script representing the sound /d͡za/, a voiced alveolar affricate used primarily to transcribe foreign and loanwords, particularly from languages like Urdu, Arabic, and English. It is a distinct addition to the standard Telugu consonant inventory, later encoded in Unicode to support accurate transliteration of sounds not native to literary Telugu. Although relatively rare in everyday Telugu writing, the character appears in scholarly works, dictionaries, and historical texts to preserve phonetic precision.
