U+11616 "𑘖" Modi Letter Jha Unicode Character

U+11616 "𑘖" Modi Letter Jha is a character used in the Modi script, an abugida historically employed to write the Marathi language and other regional languages of western India, primarily during the Maratha Empire. This specific character represents the aspirated voiced palatal affricate sound, similar to "jha" in other Brahmic scripts like Devanagari, and it has a unique, flowing orthography distinct from its Devanagari counterpart. As part of the Modi script's repertoire of consonants, it contributes to the writing system that was notably utilized for administrative documents, letters, and record keeping until the early 20th century, when it was largely replaced by the modern Devanagari script for writing Marathi.
