U+0DAE "ථ" Sinhala Letter Mahaapraana Tayanna Unicode Character

U+0DAE "ථ" Sinhala Letter Mahaapraana Tayanna is a glyph in the Sinhala script used primarily in Sri Lanka to write the Sinhala language, representing an aspirated voiceless dental stop consonant, akin to the "th" sound in the English word "thin." This character is part of the Sinhala consonants categorized as "mahaapraana," or aspirated letters, and is formed by adding an extra diacritic-like feature to its unaspirated counterpart, "ත" (tayanna). It appears in written Sinhala as a distinct letter, often transcribed as "tha" in romanization, and plays a key role in accurately representing borrowed words and native vocabulary that require this specific phonetic quality.
