PHAGS-PA LETTER A is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of PHAGS-PA LETTER A 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 Phags-pa block. The Phags-pa block contains characters used in the Phags-pa script, which was created in the 13th century by the Tibetan lama Phags-pa for the Mongol Empire under Kublai Khan. The script was intended to be a unified script for writing Mongolian, Chinese, Tibetan, and other languages of the empire. The Phags-pa script is alphabetic, and this block includes all the characters needed to write in it. Although the script was eventually supplanted by other writing systems, it is an important part of the historical development of writing in East Asia and Central Asia..
