U+174C "ᝌ" Buhid Letter Ya Unicode Character

U+174C "ᝌ" Buhid Letter Ya is a glyph from the Buhid script, an indigenous writing system historically used in the Philippines by the Buhid people on the island of Mindoro to write their language. This specific character represents the syllable "ya," and as part of the Brahmi-derived family of scripts, it follows a right-to-left direction in its traditional writing form, although modern usage often adapts to left-to-right contexts. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Buhid block, which was added in version 3.2 to preserve and support the cultural heritage of this pre colonial writing system for digital use.
