U+116A6 "𑚦" Takri Letter Va is a character from the Takri script, an abugida historically used in the Himalayan regions of northern India, particularly for writing languages like Dogri, Chambyali, and Kangri. This specific glyph represents the consonantal sound "va," which is a voiced labiodental approximant similar to the "v" in English. In its typical usage within the Takri script, the letter functions as the primary representation of the /v/ phoneme, and like other Takri consonants, it carries an inherent vowel sound /a/ unless modified by diacritical marks, making it an essential component for writing a variety of words in the languages that employ this script.
