ꦠ is a syllable in the Javanese script that represents the sounds /t̪ɔ/ and /t̪a/. It is transliterated to Latin as "ta", and sometimes in Indonesian orthography as "to". It has two other forms (pasangan), which are ◌꧀ꦠ and ◌꧀ꦠꦸ (if followed by 'ꦸ' and several other glyphs), but represented by a single Unicode code point, U+A9A0.^[1][2][3]

Pasangan[edit]

Its pasangan form ◌꧀ꦠ, is located on the bottom side of the previous syllable. For example, ꦥꦼꦝꦺꦠ꧀ꦠꦺ - pedhete (his/her buffalo), which, although transliterated with a single 't', is written using double 'ꦠ' because the rootword ('pedhet', buffalo) ends in 'ꦠ'.

The pasangan has two forms, the other is used when the pasangan is followed by 'ꦸ', 'ꦹ', 'ꦿ', 'ꦽ', or 'ꦾ'. For example, ꦲꦤꦏ꧀ꦠꦸꦩ - anak tuma (little flea)

Murda[edit]

The letter ꦠ has a murda form, which is ꦡ.
