U+11D16 "𑴖" Masaram Gondi Letter Tta Unicode Character

U+11D16 "𑴖" Masaram Gondi Letter Tta is a script character used in the Masaram Gondi writing system, which was created in the early 20th century for writing the Gondi language spoken by the Gondi people in central India. This specific letter represents the retroflex consonant sound /ʈ/ and is part of a consonant inventory that includes multiple retroflex and dental distinctions typical of Dravidian and Munda languages. The Masaram Gondi script was designed as an alternative to the Telugu and Devanagari scripts traditionally used for Gondi, and it was added to the Unicode Standard in 2018 to support digital preservation of the language and cultural heritage.
