Ethiopic Syllable Ra Letter Meaning
ረ is the Ethiopic syllable “ra” (Unicode name: Ethiopic Syllable RA). In practice, it appears as part of written Amharic, Tigrinya, and related Ethiopic-language text, where syllabic characters represent sounds rather than individual letters like in Latin scripts. Depending on the word and surrounding characters, the visual form participates in standard Ethiopic orthography and line composition. When coding or designing, treat it as a single Unicode character: it should render correctly when the font supports the Ethiopic block, and you can reliably reproduce it using the provided HTML entity and escape sequences.
