U+1B97 "ᮗ" Sundanese Letter Va Unicode Character

U+1B97 "ᮗ" Sundanese Letter Va is a distinct consonant letter used in the traditional Sundanese script of West Java, Indonesia, representing the sound /va/. This character, called "va" in Sundanese, is primarily employed to transcribe foreign loanwords, particularly those from Arabic or Dutch, where the native Sundanese language does not commonly have the /v/ phoneme. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that digital text, such as in historical manuscripts or modern typing, can accurately represent this borrowed sound within the Sundanese writing system.
