Khojki Letter La

𑈧 is Khojki’s consonant for the l sound, used inside words. Its reading depends on neighboring letters and the language being written; on its own, it is not a complete word or message.

Khojki grew from Sindh’s mercantile writing and later served Nizari Ismaili religious literature, especially ginans—devotional hymns and teachings. Catalogued Khojki Sindhi manuscripts begin around 1736. A proposed link to proto-Nagari writing on potsherds from the 8th century, and the account that Pir Sadruddin invented Khojki, remain uncertain.

How is Khojki related to Landa scripts?

Khojki belongs to the Landa family of scripts. Landa is a group of related merchant writing systems, and descriptions connect Khojki with Lohana or Lohānākī writing. Gurmukhi offers a comparison at the script level: both became formal scripts for religious literature.

Khojki was used for Sindhi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Siraiki, Arabic and Persian texts, across commercial records, devotional manuscripts, print, teaching and ceremony.

What if someone sends 𑈧 alone?

A lone 𑈧 is a letter sample or fragment, not a complete message. If it is part of a word, the surrounding text is needed to read it.
