U+10A21 "𐨡" Kharoshthi Letter Da Unicode Character

U+10A21 "𐨡" Kharoshthi Letter Da is a symbol from the ancient Kharoshthi script, which was used between approximately the 3rd century BCE and the 4th century CE in regions that are now parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia to write languages like Gandhari and Sanskrit. This particular character represents the voiced dental stop sound "da" and is a fundamental consonant letter in the abugida writing system of Kharoshthi, where each consonant inherently carries a short vowel sound that can be modified with diacritical marks. The script was primarily written from right to left and appears in many important historical inscriptions and Buddhist texts, such as those found on the renowned Gandharan scrolls of the ancient Buddhist tradition.
