mahajani letter da

Mahajani letter da

22/39

𑅥 writes the consonant da in Mahajani. Merchants used Mahajani for account books, bills, and correspondence in Hindi, Marwari, and Punjabi. It shares features with related scripts, but its letters have their own forms.

Text symbol

What 𑅥 means

It shares structural features with Landa scripts. Mahajani also has documented similarities with Kaithi and Devanagari. A comparison chart aligns this da with Kaithi 𑂠 and Devanagari द as corresponding letters; each glyph belongs to its own script.

A grammar from 1872 describes Mahajani. A primer from 1875 and comparative sources from 1876, 1882, and 1899 record its teaching and letter forms. Mahajani had largely fallen out of general use by the mid-20th century.

Mahajani is a historical merchant script, so this letter chiefly helps when reading its records.

If the active font lacks Mahajani coverage, this letter may appear as a box.

Why does 𑅥 show as a box on some devices?

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.
