Multani Letter Cha

It is the Multani consonant letter cha. Multani is a historical South Asian script used to write Seraiki, a language of Pakistan’s Punjab and northern Sindh.

Multani belongs to the Landa family of regional South Asian scripts. It is related to Gurmukhi and more distantly to Khudawadi and Khojki; comparison charts pair this consonant with corresponding letters in those scripts.

Why was Multani written?

It handled everyday writing and trade, then also gained a printed use. The Baptist Missionary Press made metal type for Christian literature; its New Testament was the first book printed in Multani and appeared in 1819.

In the latter half of the 19th century, British administration introduced Arabic script as the standard for languages of Sindh, contributing to Multani’s decline. Multani remained in use into the 20th century. As of 2026, standard Seraiki writing uses Arabic script.

Why does 𑊋 look different in different fonts?

Multani has no single standard form. The chart shapes are representative and based on printed forms; other letterforms are attested in handwritten records. If 𑊋 appears as a box or blank, the current font or renderer likely lacks a Multani drawing. Unicode fixes the character identity; the font supplies its visible shape.
