Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+A9E0 "ꧠ" Myanmar Letter Shan Gha is a specific grapheme used in the Shan language, which belongs to the Tai-Kadai language family and is spoken primarily in Myanmar (Burma) as well as neighboring regions of China, Thailand, and Laos. This character represents the voiced velar fricative sound, akin to a voiced /g/ in certain contexts, and is part of the extended Myanmar block of Unicode designed to support the writing systems of various ethnic languages in Myanmar beyond standard Burmese. It is one of the many additional letters created to accurately transcribe Shan phonology, particularly for words borrowed from Pali or Sanskrit, and its distinct L-shaped curve and tail distinguish it visually from other Myanmar script characters.
