bengali letter cha

Bengali letter cha

23/96

ছ is Bengali chh, also written chha in Latin letters: like English ch in “chair”, with extra breath. It combines with vowel signs to write syllables.

Text symbol

What ছ means

Pronounce chh with a puff of air. That extra breath, called aspiration, can distinguish Bengali words. In some eastern Bengali dialects, ছ sounds like English s in “sun”.

Its script evolved from Brahmi, an ancient Indian writing system. Early Bengali forms appear in 9th–10th-century inscriptions and develop further in 11th–12th-century records. Printing from 1778 helped standardize letter shapes.

Why is ছ a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
