History[edit]
Writing appeared after speech first appeared in the world. That is, linear writing appeared only after writing appeared. Hearing by the ear is writing. Visual summary. Linear characters are being replaced by scholars over time. It is called "singular" because it stands alone, without vowels, without consonants, without vowels, and stands alone. This one letter is only a three dot character. That is why this letter is called three-point. Named Aḥkēṉam based on sound. Āyta usually means tool. However, weapons of war are said to be ready or armed. weapon in battle is also called Āyta. The warrior's shield is made of iron and has a circular shape. In it, there will be a handle on one side for catching. On the other side are iron bubbles in the form of three dots (ஃ ). If you hit the enemy with the shield in the middle, the painful areas like those three bubbles will be smashed as if they were hitting the enemy. Two-thirds of those bubbles are at the bottom and one is at the top. This writing also got the name because it has the same shape as the weapon. The Trident was one of the weapons used by the warriors on the battlefield. The Trident has three pointed tips. If you look at only those three ends it will appear as a triangle. At the three ends of the skewer, inserting the lemon fruit, it can be understood that it looks like ஃ.
