What 𑂕 means
It writes the jha consonant in Kaithi.
Kaithi consonants normally carry a built-in vowel; a vowel sign changes it, while a virama mark removes it.
How is Kaithi related to other scripts?
Kaithi descends from ancient Brahmi writing and relates to Devanagari and Gujarati.
Kaithi was standardized for administration and education as Devanagari gained formal standing. Styles are associated with Bhojpuri, Magahi, and Maithili; the Unicode chart uses the Magahi style. Scholars suggest Kaithi influenced two other scripts, Mahajani and Syloti Nagri. As of 2026, font and app support can affect its display; a blank or box is a display failure, not a different letter.

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
