U+0E86 "ຆ" Lao Letter Pali Gha Unicode Character

U+0E86 "ຆ" Lao Letter Pali Gha is a script character used in the Lao alphabet specifically to represent the voiced aspirated velar consonant sound /ɡʰ/ for transcribing Pali and Sanskrit texts, as these languages include sounds not native to standard Lao. It is part of the Lao block in Unicode and corresponds to the Brahmic-derived letter derived from the Khmer script, but it is rarely used in everyday Lao writing and appears primarily in religious, scholarly, or historical contexts where Pali terminology must be accurately represented.
