Source: Browser Default
U+A848 "ꡈ" Phags-Pa Letter Ta is a specific glyph from the Phags-pa script, an alphabet historically used during the Yuan Dynasty in Mongolia and China to write several languages, including Mongolian, Chinese, and Sanskrit. This character represents the unvoiced dental stop "ta" sound, akin to the English "t," and was part of a unique, vertically written script commissioned by Emperor Kublai Khan. While the Phags-pa script is no longer in common use, this letter is preserved in the Unicode standard for historical and academic text rendering, ensuring that documents and digital representations of medieval Mongolian and Chinese phonology remain accessible.
