What 𐴀 means
It carries an independent vowel, and can represent /ɔ/ on its own.
In Hanifi Rohingya spelling, 𐴀 comes before a vowel sign when a vowel starts a word or stands alone. Without a following vowel sign, it can represent the /ɔ/ sound within a word.
How did Hanifi Rohingya begin?
It was developed as a dedicated alphabet for writing Rohingya.
An early committee chart is dated February 19, 1980. Arabic influenced the script's general appearance and joining; some letter shapes also show Latin and Myanmar influence. These are design influences, not evidence that the Hanifi script directly descends from those writing systems.
The alphabet was intended to represent Rohingya sounds explicitly and provide a shared way to write the language. Rohingya is also written with Arabic-, Burmese-, and Latin-based systems; using Hanifi identifies that writing system.
How can I type Hanifi Rohingya A?
Use a Hanifi keyboard and a font that supports the script.
A dedicated online Hanifi keyboard provides a key for A. Hanifi Rohingya is written right to left, and 𐴀 joins only to the letter on its left, so its displayed form can depend on neighboring text.
𐴀 identifies Hanifi Rohingya writing; Rohingya is also written in Arabic-, Burmese-, and Latin-based systems.
A box usually means the font cannot display Hanifi Rohingya.
