U+11717 "𑜗" Ahom Letter Gha is a character from the Ahom script, which was historically used to write the Ahom language, a Tai language spoken by the Ahom people of Assam, India, primarily between the 13th and 18th centuries. This specific character represents the sound "gha," a voiced aspirated velar plosive, and is part of a set of consonants in the Ahom abugida, which was influenced by the Brahmi script. The Ahom script was used in various stone inscriptions, manuscripts, and coins, preserving records of the Ahom kingdom's history and culture. U+11717 was added to the Unicode Standard in version 11.0, released in 2018, as part of the Ahom block, aiding in the digital preservation and revival of this historical script.
