U+11F13 "𑼓" Kawi Letter Kha Unicode Character

U+11F13 "𑼓" Kawi Letter Kha is a character from the Kawi script, an ancient Brahmi-derived writing system historically used across Maritime Southeast Asia, particularly in Java, Bali, and Sumatra, to write Old Javanese, Sanskrit, and other regional languages. This letter represents the voiceless aspirated velar stop consonant sound "kha," analogous to the second consonant in the Sanskrit inventory, and is essential for transcribing texts found on stone inscriptions, palm-leaf manuscripts, and copper plates from the 8th to the 16th centuries. Its inclusion in Unicode as part of the Kawi block, added in version 15.0 in 2022, ensures that historical documents written in this script can be digitally preserved, studied, and accurately reproduced for modern scholarship and cultural heritage efforts.
