U+11A3A "𑨺" Zanabazar Square Cluster-Initial Letter Ra is a component of the Zanabazar Square script, which was created in the late 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar for writing Mongolian and Tibetan Buddhist texts. This specific character represents the consonant "ra" and is used in an initial position within a consonant cluster, acting as a modifier rather than a standalone letter to combine with other characters and form complex syllables. It is part of a broader set of cluster-initial letters that facilitate the precise phonetic transcription of Sanskrit and Tibetan sounds in scriptural translations. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard to support digital preservation and use of this historical script.
