Mahajani Letter Pha

26/39

𑅩 is the Mahajani letter Pha, one consonant in a historical script used for business records across northern India. Merchants wrote accounts, bills, diaries, and letters in it; this individual letter is not a word by itself. As of 2026, Mahajani is no longer in general use.

Text symbol

What 𑅩 means

It is one consonant letter in Mahajani.

It is read as part of a written word; on its own, 𑅩 is not a complete word.

Where did Mahajani come from?

Mahajani belongs to the Brahmi family of Indian scripts.

Mahajani recorded Hindi, Marwari, and Punjabi, especially in merchants’ accounts, bills, diaries, and letters. A primer explaining Mahajani in Devanagari, another Indian script, appeared in 1850; an edition printed in Mahajani appeared in 1875.

Mahajani shares features with Landa scripts, a group related to Sharada, another Indian script tradition. It is also compared with Kaithi and Devanagari, two other Indian scripts, but most Mahajani letterforms are distinct.
