ꦗ is a syllable in Javanese script that represents the sound /dʒɔ/, /dʒa/. It is transliterated to Latin as "ja" or "ya", and sometimes in Indonesian orthography as "jo" or "yo". It has another form (pasangan), which is ◌꧀ꦗ, but represented by a single Unicode code point, U+A997.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Pasangan

Its pasangan form ◌꧀ꦗ, is located on the bottom side of the previous syllable. For example, ꦲꦤꦏ꧀ꦗꦫꦤ꧀ - anak jaran (little horse).

Extended form

The letter ꦗ doesn't have a murda form.

Using cecak telu (ꦗ꦳), the syllable represents /z/.

ꦗ with a cerek (ꦘ) is called Nya murda.

Mahaprana

Mahaprana letters were originally aspirated consonants used in Sanskrit and Kawi transliterations. However, there are no aspirated consonants in modern Javanese. The mahaprana form of ꦗ is ꦙ.
