U+1C6D "ᱭ" Ol Chiki Letter Uy Unicode Character

U+1C6D "ᱭ" Ol Chiki Letter Uy is a consonant in the Ol Chiki script, which was created in the early 20th century by Pandit Raghunath Murmu specifically for writing the Santali language, an Austroasiatic language spoken primarily in eastern India. This letter represents the sound /uj/ or a similar diphthongal glide, functioning as a distinct character in the script's alphabetic system. Ol Chiki is unique among Indian scripts for not being derived from Brahmi, instead featuring a circular, geometric design that reflects Santali cultural and artistic traditions. The character is used within Santali communities for literature, education, and official documentation, helping to preserve and promote the language in regions like Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Odisha.
