{{Jawa|ꦪ}} is one syllable in Javanese script that represents the sound /jɔ/, /ja/. It is transliterated to Latin as "ya", and sometimes in Indonesian orthography as "yo". It has another form (pasangan), which is {{Jawa|◌꧀ꦪ}}, but represented by a single Unicode code point, U+A9AA.Campbell, George L. Compendium of the World's Languages. Vol. 1.

Pasangan

Its pasangan form {{Jawa|◌꧀ꦪ}}, is located on the bottom side of the previous syllable. The pasangan only occurs if a word ends with a consonant, and the next word starts with 'y', for example {{Jawa|ꦲꦤꦏ꧀ꦪꦸꦪꦸ}} - anak yuyu (little crab). If it is located between a consonant and a vocal, it doesn't form a pasangan. Instead it uses a special panjingan called a pengkal ({{Jawa|ꦾ}}), for example {{Jawa|ꦲꦩ꧀ꦥꦾꦁ}} - ampyang (a kind of snack).

Murda

The letter ꦪ does not have a murda form.
