U+11C8E "𑲎" Marchen Letter Ha Unicode Character

U+11C8E "𑲎" Marchen Letter Ha is a glyph representing a consonant sound from the Marchen script, a historical Brahmic writing system used primarily between the 7th and 11th centuries to inscribe the extinct Zhangzhung language, which was spoken in the ancient kingdom of Zhangzhung in western Tibet. This specific character corresponds to the sound "ha," making it part of the script's consonant inventory, and it was often employed in religious and funerary texts associated with the Bon tradition. The Marchen script is distinct from Tibetan and other Brahmic derivatives for its angular, curvilinear stroke formations, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and academic study of this lesser known writing system.
