Saurashtra letter ga

It is the Saurashtra-script letter ga. Inside a word, ꢔ writes a voiced g consonant with the script’s built-in a vowel; its consonant sounds like the g in English “go.”

Saurashtra is a language historically related to Gujarati. Its script is Brahmic, part of a South Asian family of writing systems, and closely related to Gujarati script. Saurashtra is also written in Tamil, Telugu, and Devanagari; ꢔ identifies the Saurashtra-script choice.

Published evidence from 1880 records an earlier local script used for Saurashtra. A distinct Saurashtra script took shape around 1890–1908, and its modern forms developed in the late 1800s. It served books, grammar guides, dictionaries, school texts, songs, and local periodicals.

How do I type ꢔ?

Use a Saurashtra input method for full text. Choose a Unicode keyboard layout or a transliteration tool made for the script.

A layout enters script characters from dedicated keys; transliteration turns typed Latin letters into Saurashtra. Which method works depends on the tool installed on your device.

Why does ꢔ show as a box?

A box points to missing font support.

Your app’s active font may lack Saurashtra coverage, so the letter appears as a box or replacement mark. As of 2026, Noto Sans Saurashtra provides a font for this script, though the app must use a font that includes the glyph. Fonts can draw the same character with different shapes.
