- Ṭha (also romanized as Ttha) is a consonant of Indic abugidas. In modern Indic scripts, Ṭha is derived from the early "Ashoka" Brahmi letter after having gone through the Gupta letter . As with the other cerebral consonants, ṭha is not found in most scripts for Tai, Sino-Tibetan, and other non-Indic languages, except for a few scripts, which retain these letters for transcribing Sanskrit religious terms.(Further information: Āryabhaṭa numeration)
Aryabhata used Devanagari letters for numbers, very similar to the Greek numerals, even after the invention of Indian numerals. The values of the different forms of ठ are:
* ठ [ʈʰə] = 12 (१२)
* ठि [ʈʰɪ] = 1,200 (१२००)
* ठु [ʈʰʊ] = 120,000 (१ २० ०००)
* ठृ [ʈʰri] = 12,000,000 (१ २० ०० ०००)
* ठॢ [ʈʰlə] = 1,200,000,000 (१ २० ०० ०० ०००)
* ठे [ʈʰe] = 12×1010 (१२×१०१०)
* ठै [ʈʰɛː] = 12×1012 (१२×१०१२)
* ठो [ʈʰoː] = 12×1014 (१२×१०१४)
* ठौ [ʈʰɔː] = 12×1016 (१२×१०१६) (en)
