U+171F "ᜟ" Tagalog Letter Archaic Ra Unicode Character

U+171F "ᜟ" Tagalog Letter Archaic Ra is a glyph from the Hanunoo script, part of the Brahmic family used historically for writing the Tagalog language in the Philippines, representing the sound "ra" but marked as archaic because it was an older, less common form that eventually fell out of use in favor of the standard character for "ra." This character is encoded in the Unicode Hanunoo block, which was added to support the preservation and digital representation of Philippine indigenous scripts, and its specific designation as "archaic" highlights that it is a historical variant not employed in modern Hanunoo or Tagalog writing systems.
