mro letter ko

Mro letter Ko

𖩙 is Mro’s letter for /k/; 𖩌 is the usual form. Menlay Mro devised the alphabet in the early 1980s alongside Krama, a Mro spiritual tradition. Mro folklore frames its creation as restoring lost writing after a cow ate a book sent by Turai, a deity.

What 𖩙 means

It represents the consonant /k/, not a whole syllable.

Mro is spoken in southeastern Bangladesh and nearby Myanmar. In Latin transliteration, Mro ko means “gold”; its Mro spelling is 𖩙𖩑. Here, 𖩙 supplies the first sound.

Why does Mro have two letters for /k/?

𖩌 is the usual letter for /k/.

Mro normally writes /k/ with 𖩌; 𖩙 appears in a few words, so they are not interchangeable.

The alphabet has no historical parent script; similar forms elsewhere are coincidental. By 2026, Mro books and online posts used it outside Krama religious life.

Why does 𖩙 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.
