U+A862 "ꡢ" Phags-Pa Letter Qa Unicode Character

U+A862 "ꡢ" Phags-Pa Letter Qa is a glyph from the Phags-Pa script, a historical alphabet created in the 13th century during the Yuan dynasty under the order of Kublai Khan to unify the writing of the empire's multiple languages, including Mongolian, Chinese, and Tibetan. Specifically, this character represents the consonant sound "qa," which is a voiceless uvular stop, and was used in the transliteration of Sanskrit and Tibetan texts into the Phags-Pa script. Today, it is primarily of interest to scholars of historical linguistics and medieval Mongolian writing systems, as the script fell out of common use after the Yuan dynasty's decline.
