U+11228 "𑈨" Khojki Letter Va Unicode Character

U+11228 "𑈨" Khojki Letter Va is a glyph from the Khojki script, a writing system historically used by the Ismaili community of South Asia to transcribe religious literature, particularly in the Sindhi, Gujarati, and Kachchi languages. This specific character represents the consonant "va," which corresponds to the sound /v/ or /w/ in those languages. Codified as part of the Unicode Standard in version 7.0 released in 2014, it belongs to the Khojki block, a script that originated from the Landa family of scripts and was primarily employed in handwritten manuscripts known as pothis that carried the teachings of the Aga Khan and other spiritual figures. The inclusion of Khojki Letter Va in Unicode helps preserve the digital representation of this once endangered script, enabling its use in modern computing environments for scholarly research, cultural preservation, and linguistic study.
