What 𑩮 means
It writes the dental dha consonant inside Soyombo syllables.
Soyombo is an abugida: each consonant carries a built-in “a” unless a vowel sign changes it. Final consonant signs mark syllable endings, and a special subjoiner connects consonants in stacked clusters. In phonetic charts, 𑩮 belongs to the dental dha series used for Mongolian, Sanskrit, and Tibetan; the language being written determines the precise sound.
Buddhist leader Zanabazar devised the script at Tövkhön in 1686 for writing Mongolian, Sanskrit, and Tibetan. As of 2026, Soyombo is encountered chiefly in Buddhist texts, especially handwritten manuscripts and inscriptions. Ornamental examples also appear on prayer wheels and monastery nameplates.

No. 𑩮 is a consonant letter; the flag bears a separate emblem.
The Soyombo emblem on Mongolia’s flag combines a flame, sun, and moon. It is a national symbol; this glyph is the dha letter used in the script.

1Why does 𑩮 show as a box?
Usually the font or app cannot render Soyombo. Unicode still stores the character, but a font must contain its glyph and the app must shape the script correctly. Noto Sans Soyombo is an available fallback font (as of 2026).
