U+11720 "𑜠" Ahom Vowel Sign A Unicode Character

U+11720 "𑜠" Ahom Vowel Sign A is a diacritical mark used in the Ahom script, which was historically employed to write the Ahom language, a now extinct Tai language once spoken in the Assam region of northeastern India. This vowel sign represents the inherent 'a' vowel sound and is placed after a consonant character to modify its pronunciation, playing a crucial role in the accurate representation of Ahom phonology. The character was included in Unicode version 11.0 in June 2018 as part of the Ahom block, aiding efforts to preserve and digitally revive the script for linguistic and cultural heritage purposes.
