U+11F24 "𑼤" Kawi Letter Dha Unicode Character

U+11F24 "𑼤" Kawi Letter Dha is a glyph from the Kawi script, an ancient writing system used primarily in Maritime Southeast Asia to write Old Javanese, Balinese, and Sanskrit between the 8th and 16th centuries. This specific letter represents the voiced aspirated dental stop sound "dha," as in the English word "adhere," and is part of a larger set of consonants in the Kawi abugida. The character was added to the Unicode Standard in version 14.0, released in September 2021, helping to preserve and digitally encode this historical script for scholarly and cultural purposes. Its inclusion allows digital texts to accurately represent inscriptions and manuscripts from the region's rich epigraphic tradition.
