U+1170A "𑜊" Ahom Letter Ja Unicode Character

U+1170A "𑜊" Ahom Letter Ja is a character from the Ahom script, a writing system historically used to record the Tai Ahom language of the Brahmaputra Valley in present-day Assam, India. Representing the consonant sound "ja", this letter is part of an abugida derived from the Brahmi script, primarily known through historical manuscripts and inscriptions from the 13th to 18th centuries. The Ahom script fell out of common use over time, but modern revival efforts and its inclusion in Unicode in 2015 (version 8.0) have allowed for digital preservation and study of this important cultural heritage, connecting contemporary scholars to the linguistic and historical records of the Ahom kingdom.
