U+119AF "𑦯" Nandinagari Letter Kha Unicode Character

U+119AF "𑦯" Nandinagari Letter Kha is a specific glyph from the Nandinagari script, a historical Brahmic abugida primarily used in southern India to write Sanskrit and Kannada between the 8th and 16th centuries. This character represents the aspirated voiceless velar plosive sound "kha" (phonetically /kʰa/), distinguishing it from the unaspirated "ka" by an added aspiration diacritic or a distinct letterform. It belongs to the Nandinagari Unicode block (U+119A0–U+119D7), which was added to the standard in 2022 as part of Version 15.0 to preserve and digitally encode a script once vital for inscribing temple inscriptions and manuscripts, reflecting the region's historical literary and religious traditions.
