Mro Letter A

It is a letter in the Mro alphabet.

The Mro language, also called Mru or Murong, is spoken around the Bangladesh–Myanmar border, and 𖩆 is one of its letters. Its job is building words — 'go' is spelled 𖩎𖩆𖩁 — not carrying a message on its own. Outside Mro text, treat it as a writing-system sample.

The 2009 Unicode proposal describes the Mro script as genetically unrelated to existing scripts: a resemblance to Latin, Burmese, or Chinese letters is coincidence, not ancestry.

Why was the Mro script created?

To give the community a script of its own.

The date is told two ways: a family account says its creator, Menley Mro, began the script in 1981 and published it in 1984; another account puts the alphabet's creation in 1982.

It also served a religion — Menley Mro founded the Krama movement, and the alphabet was taught alongside it. Village schools had used the neighbouring Marma alphabet, so the new script gave Mro teaching and identity one local form. It later spread into school materials, books, blogs, Facebook posts, and phone keyboards; by 2026 it was documented in use across the Bangladesh–Myanmar border.
