U+10485 "𐒅" Osmanya Letter Kha Unicode Character

U+10485 "𐒅" Osmanya Letter Kha is a character in the Osmanya script, which was created in the early 20th century by Osman Yusuf Kenadid to write the Somali language. This specific letter represents the voiceless velar fricative sound /χ/, akin to the "ch" in the Scottish "loch." The Osmanya script was designed as a phonetic alternative to the Latin and Arabic scripts traditionally used for Somali, and it was officially adopted in Somalia for a period, though its usage declined after the Latin script became standard following the 1972 Somali script reform.
