KAWI LETTER RA is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of KAWI LETTER RA is Left-to-Right (Strong). It belongs to the strong left-to-right characters..

The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right. This includes most alphabetic characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that are typically written in this direction. The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

Other Letter (Lo) refers to letters that do not fit into the uppercase, lowercase, titlecase, or modifier letter categories. These include letters from scripts that do not have case distinction, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and others. This category is also used for syllabic and ideographic characters that function as letters.

This character belongs to the Kawi block. Kawi is an ancient Brahmic script used across parts of Southeast Asia, particularly in Java and Bali, to write Old Javanese and Sanskrit. Its usage spanned several centuries and had a profound influence on the scripts that followed, including modern-day Javanese and Balinese scripts. Kawi is found in inscriptions, religious texts, and literary works, serving as a crucial link to understanding the cultural and linguistic history of pre-colonial Indonesia and surrounding regions. By including Kawi in Unicode, scholars can digitally transcribe ancient manuscripts, allowing for better preservation, research, and dissemination of Southeast Asian history. This block supports efforts to revive interest in the script, as many young Indonesians are now looking to reconnect with their heritage through the study of ancient scripts..
