U+11623 "𑘣" Modi Letter Pha Unicode Character

U+11623 "𑘣" Modi Letter Pha is a character from the Modi script, a historical writing system used primarily to write the Marathi language in the Bahmani Sultanate and later the Maratha Empire. This specific letter represents the aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive sound "pha" and functions as a consonant in the Modi alphabet. The script itself is notable for its cursive, angular forms designed for faster writing, and this character appears in inscriptions and manuscripts from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Today, the Modi script has largely been replaced by the Devanagari script for Marathi, but it remains of significant interest to scholars and enthusiasts of historical linguistics and paleography.
