U+10A16 "𐨖" Kharoshthi Letter Cha is a glyph from the historic Kharoshthi script, an ancient writing system used primarily in the Gandhara region of present-day Pakistan and Afghanistan from around the 3rd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. This character represents the consonant sound "cha" and is part of a script that was employed to write various Prakrit languages, as well as Sanskrit and other Middle Indo-Aryan dialects. The Kharoshthi script is notable for its right-to-left horizontal writing direction and its evolution from the Aramaic alphabet, and the Letter Cha is one of several consonants that contributed to the script's role in recording Buddhist texts and administrative documents from the early historical period of South Asia.
