U+11C24 "𑰤" Bhaiksuki Letter Ba Unicode Character

U+11C24 "𑰤" Bhaiksuki Letter Ba is a glyph from the historical Bhaiksuki script, an ancient Brahmic writing system used primarily in parts of India and Nepal from around the 10th to the 12th centuries CE to write Buddhist Sanskrit texts. This specific character represents the consonant sound "ba" in the Bhaiksuki syllabary, functioning as a dedicated letter rather than a conjunct or modifier. Its design, like other Bhaiksuki characters, features angular, geometric strokes distinct from more common Brahmic scripts, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Bhaiksuki block to facilitate digital preservation and scholarly study of this lesser known script.
