Text symbol

What 𑊅 means

It is Multani’s consonant letter named kha.

Multani grew from Landa in the 18th century to write Seraiki, an Indo-Aryan language. It served routine and trade writing; a Baptist missionary press printed its first book, a New Testament, in 1819.

Why does 𑊅 look different?

Multani has no standard form, so historical letters vary.

Its chart combines printed and handwritten forms. In the latter half of the 19th century, British administration made Arabic script standard for Sindh’s languages; Multani lingered into the 20th century.

A lone 𑊅 is best read as a letter sample; its message needs context.

Why does 𑊅 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.
