What 𑪃 means
It is the Soyombo letter for the Sanskrit cluster kṣa.
Soyombo is a script used for Mongolian, Sanskrit and Tibetan. Here, kṣa names a Sanskrit consonant cluster—a group of consonants used together—and this letter represents it as one unit. Devanagari writes the same Sanskrit cluster as क्ष.
Was 𑪃 designed for Mongolian?
Soyombo served three languages; this letter serves Sanskrit.
Zanabazar designed the script in 1686 for Mongolian, Sanskrit and Tibetan. It was used mostly in short, decorative Buddhist texts.
As of 2026, descriptions place Soyombo mainly in decorative monastery writing, inscriptions and prayer wheels. Accounts propose different script models: one names Devanagari, another Ranjana. These are possible influences, not a settled single source.
Is 𑪃 Mongolia's flag symbol?
No; the flag uses a separate Soyombo head mark.
That mark began as a device for opening Soyombo texts and later became Mongolia’s emblem. Its national meaning belongs to the head mark; it does not transfer to every Soyombo letter.
A specialist Soyombo letter used for the Sanskrit kṣa consonant cluster.
