U+11700 "𑜀" Ahom Letter Ka Unicode Character

U+11700 "𑜀" Ahom Letter Ka is the first letter of the Ahom script, an abugida historically used to write the Ahom language, an extinct Tai language once spoken in the Brahmaputra Valley of present-day Assam, India. This character represents the consonant sound "ka" and is part of the Ahom block of Unicode, which was added in version 8.0 released in June 2015 to support the digital preservation of Ahom manuscripts and inscriptions. The letter reflects the script's unique calligraphic style, characterized by rounded strokes and a distinctive shape, and its inclusion in Unicode enables modern scholars and the Ahom community to digitize and study historical texts that document the region's medieval history, culture, and governance.
