U+A841 "ꡁ" Phags-Pa Letter Kha Unicode Character

U+A841 "ꡁ" Phags-Pa Letter Kha is a glyph from the Phags-pa script, a historical alphabet created in the 13th century under the Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan to unify the writing of languages across his empire, primarily Mongolian, Chinese, and Tibetan. This specific character represents an aspirated velar stop consonant sound, akin to the "kh" in English "khan," and was used in transliterating foreign names and religious texts. The Phags-pa script was written vertically in columns, and it fell out of common use after the Yuan Dynasty's collapse, though it remains of interest to scholars studying medieval East Asian linguistics and epigraphy.
