U+11D20 "𑴠" Masaram Gondi Letter Pa Unicode Character

U+11D20 "𑴠" Masaram Gondi Letter Pa is a glyph representing the consonant "pa" in the Masaram Gondi script, an abugida devised in the early 20th century by Munshi Mangal Singh Masaram to write the Gondi language, a Dravidian language spoken primarily in central India. This script is distinct from other Gondi writing systems and was added to Unicode in version 10.0, released in June 2017, as part of the Masaram Gondi block. The character is used for phonetic and literary purposes within Gondi communities, particularly in the state of Maharashtra and parts of Madhya Pradesh, and it helps preserve the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Gond people.
