Bha is a consonant of Indic abugidas. In modern Indic scripts, Bha is derived from the early "Ashoka" Brahmi letter after having gone through the Gupta letter .

## 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 भ are:
* भ = 24 (२४)
* भि = 2,400 (२ ४००)
* भु = 240,000 (२ ४० ०००)
* भृ = 24,000,000 (२ ४० ०० ०००)
* भॢ = 24×10$^8$ (२४×१०$^८$)
* भे = 24×10$^{10}$ (२४×१०$^{१०}$)
* भै = 24×10$^{12}$ (२४×१०$^{१२}$)
* भो = 24×10$^{14}$ (२४×१०$^{१४}$)
* भौ = 24×10$^{16}$ (२४×१०$^{१६}$)

## Historic Bha

There are three different general early historic scripts - Brahmi and its variants, Kharoṣṭhī, and Tocharian, the so-called slanting Brahmi. Bha as found in standard Brahmi, was a simple geometric shape, with variations toward more flowing forms by the Gupta . The Tocharian Bha did not have an alternate Fremdzeichen form. The third form of bha, in Kharoshthi was probably derived from Aramaic separately from the Brahmi letter.

### Brahmi Bha

The Brahmi letter , Bha, is probably derived from the altered Aramaic Bet , and is thus related to the modern Latin B and Greek Beta. Several identifiable styles of writing the Brahmi Bha can be found, most associated with a specific set of inscriptions from an artifact or diverse records from an historic period. As the earliest and most geometric style of Brahmi, the letters found on the Edicts of Ashoka and other records from around that time are normally the reference form for Brahmi letters, with vowel marks not attested until later forms of Brahmi back-formed to match the geometric writing style.
Brahmi Bha historic forms :
| Ashoka (3rd-1st c. BCE) | Girnar (~150 BCE) | Kushana (~150-250 CE) | Gujarat (~250 CE) | Gupta (~350 CE) |

### Tocharian Bha

The Tocharian letter is derived from the Brahmi , but does not have an alternate Fremdzeichen form.

| Bha | Bhā | Bhi | Bhī | Bhu | Bhū | Bhr | Bhr̄ | Bhe | Bhai | Bho | Bhau | Bhä |

### Kharoṣṭhī Bha

The Kharoṣṭhī letter is generally accepted as being derived from the altered Aramaic Bet , and is thus related to B and Beta, in addition to the Brahmi Bha.

Bha (भ) is a consonant of the Devanagari abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter , after having gone through the Gupta letter . Letters that derive from it are the Gujarati letter ભ, and the Modi letter 𑘥.

### Devanagari-using Languages

In all languages, भ is pronounced as or [bʰ] when appropriate. Like all Indic scripts, Devanagari uses vowel marks attached to the base consonant to override the inherent /ə/ vowel:
Devanagari भ with vowel marks :
| Bha | Bhā | Bhi | Bhī | Bhu | Bhū | Bhr | Bhr̄ | Bhl | Bhl̄ | Bhe | Bhai | Bho | Bhau | Bh |
| भ | भा | भि | भी | भु | भू | भृ | भॄ | भॢ | भॣ | भे | भै | भो | भौ | भ् |

### Conjuncts with भ

Devanagari exhibits conjunct ligatures, as is common in Indic scripts. In modern Devanagari texts, most conjuncts are formed by reducing the letter shape to fit tightly to the following letter, usually by dropping a character's vertical stem, sometimes referred to as a "half form". Some conjunct clusters are always represented by a true ligature, instead of a shape that can be broken into constituent independent letters. Vertically stacked conjuncts are ubiquitous in older texts, while only a few are still used routinely in modern Devanagari texts. The use of ligatures and vertical conjuncts may vary across languages using the Devanagari script, with Marathi in particular preferring the use of half forms where texts in other languages would show ligatures and vertical stacks.

#### Ligature conjuncts of भ

True ligatures are quite rare in Indic scripts. The most common ligated conjuncts in Devanagari are in the form of a slight mutation to fit in context or as a consistent variant form appended to the adjacent characters. Those variants include Na and the Repha and Rakar forms of Ra. Nepali and Marathi texts use the "eyelash" Ra half form for an initial "R" instead of repha.
* Repha र্ (r) + भ (bʰa) gives the ligature rbʰa:
* Eyelash र্ (r) + भ (bʰa) gives the ligature rbʰa:
* भ্ (bʰ) + न (na) gives the ligature bʰna:
* भ্ (bʰ) + rakar र (ra) gives the ligature bʰra:
* द্ (d) + भ (bʰa) gives the ligature dbʰa:

#### Stacked conjuncts of भ

Vertically stacked ligatures are the most common conjunct forms found in Devanagari text. Although the constituent characters may need to be stretched and moved slightly in order to stack neatly, stacked conjuncts can be broken down into recognizable base letters, or a letter and an otherwise standard ligature.
* भ্ (bʰ) + च (ca) gives the ligature bʰca:
* भ্ (bʰ) + ड (ḍa) gives the ligature bʰḍa:
* भ্ (bʰ) + ज (ja) gives the ligature bʰja:
* भ্ (bʰ) + ज্ (j) + ञ (ña) gives the ligature bʰjña:
* भ্ (bʰ) + ल (la) gives the ligature bʰla:
* भ্ (bʰ) + ङ (ŋa) gives the ligature bʰŋa:
* भ্ (bʰ) + ञ (ña) gives the ligature bʰña:
* छ্ (cʰ) + भ (bʰa) gives the ligature cʰbʰa:
* ड্ (ḍ) + भ (bʰa) gives the ligature ḍbʰa:
* ढ্ (ḍʱ) + भ (bʰa) gives the ligature ḍʱbʰa:
* ङ্ (ŋ) + भ (bʰa) gives the ligature ŋbʰa:
* ट্ (ṭ) + भ (bʰa) gives the ligature ṭbʰa:
* ठ্ (ṭʰ) + भ (bʰa) gives the ligature ṭʰbʰa:

## Bengali Bha

The Bengali script ভ is derived from the Siddhaṃ , and is marked by a similar horizontal head line, but less geometric shape, than its Devanagari counterpart, भ. The inherent vowel of Bengali consonant letters is /ɔ/, so the bare letter ভ will sometimes be transliterated as "bho" instead of "bha". Adding okar, the "o" vowel mark, gives a reading of /bʰo/. Like all Indic consonants, ভ can be modified by marks to indicate another (or no) vowel than its inherent "a".
Bengali ভ with vowel marks :
| bha | bhā | bhi | bhī | bhu | bhū | bhr | bhr̄ | bhe | bhai | bho | bhau | bh |
| ভ | ভা | ভি | ভী | ভু | ভূ | ভৃ | ভৄ | ভে | ভৈ | ভো | ভৌ | ভ্ |

### ভ in Bengali-using languages

ভ is used as a basic consonant character in all of the major Bengali script orthographies, including Bengali and Assamese.

### Conjuncts with ভ

Bengali ভ exhibits conjunct ligatures, as is common in Indic scripts, with a tendency towards stacked ligatures.
* ভ্ (bʰ) + র (ra) gives the ligature bʰra, with the ra phala suffix:
* ভ্ (bʰ) + ব (va) gives the ligature bʰva, with the va phala suffix:
* ভ্ (bʰ) + য (ya) gives the ligature bʰya, with the ya phala suffix:
* দ্ (d) + ভ (bʰa) gives the ligature dbʰa:
* দ্ (d) + ভ্ (bʰ) + র (ra) gives the ligature dbʰra, with the ra phala suffix:
* ল্ (l) + ভ (bʰa) gives the ligature lbʰa:
* ম্ (m) + ভ (bʰa) gives the ligature mbʰa:
* ম্ (m) + ভ্ (bʰ) + র (ra) gives the ligature mbʰra, with the ra phala suffix:
* র্ (r) + ভ (bʰa) gives the ligature rbʰa, with the repha prefix:

## Gujarati Bha

Bha (ભ) is the twenty-fourth consonant of the Gujarati abugida. It is derived from the Devanagari Bha with the top bar (shiro rekha) removed, and ultimately the Brahmi letter .

### Gujarati-using Languages

The Gujarati script is used to write the Gujarati and Kutchi languages. In both languages, ભ is pronounced as or [bʰ] when appropriate. Like all Indic scripts, Gujarati uses vowel marks attached to the base consonant to override the inherent /ə/ vowel:
| Bha | Bhā | Bhi | Bhī | Bhu | Bhū | Bhr | Bhl | Bhr̄ | Bhl̄ | Bhĕ | Bhe | Bhai | Bhŏ | Bho | Bhau | Bh |
| Gujarati Bha syllables, with vowel marks in red. |||||||||||||||||

### Conjuncts with ભ

Gujarati ભ exhibits conjunct ligatures, much like its parent Devanagari Script. Most Gujarati conjuncts can only be formed by reducing the letter shape to fit tightly to the following letter, usually by dropping a character's vertical stem, sometimes referred to as a "half form". A few conjunct clusters can be represented by a true ligature, instead of a shape that can be broken into constituent independent letters, and vertically stacked conjuncts can also be found in Gujarati, although much less commonly than in Devanagari. True ligatures are quite rare in Indic scripts. The most common ligated conjuncts in Gujarati are in the form of a slight mutation to fit in context or as a consistent variant form appended to the adjacent characters. Those variants include Na and the Repha and Rakar forms of Ra.
* ર્ (r) + ભ (bʰa) gives the ligature RBha:
* ભ્ (bʰ) + ર (ra) gives the ligature BhRa:
* ભ્ (bʰ) + ન (na) gives the ligature BhNa:

## Telugu Bha

Bha (భ) is a consonant of the Telugu abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter . It is closely related to the Kannada letter ಭ. Most Telugu consonants contain a v-shaped headstroke that is related to the horizontal headline found in other Indic scripts, although headstrokes do not connect adjacent letters in Telugu. The headstroke is normally lost when adding vowel matras. Telugu conjuncts are created by reducing trailing letters to a subjoined form that appears below the initial consonant of the conjunct. Many subjoined forms are created by dropping their headline, with many extending the end of the stroke of the main letter body to form an extended tail reaching up to the right of the preceding consonant. This subjoining of trailing letters to create conjuncts is in contrast to the leading half forms of Devanagari and Bengali letters. Ligature conjuncts are not a feature in Telugu, with the only non-standard construction being an alternate subjoined form of Ṣa (borrowed from Kannada) in the KṢa conjunct.

## Malayalam Bha

Bha (ഭ) is a consonant of the Malayalam abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter , via the Grantha letter Bha. Like in other Indic scripts, Malayalam consonants have the inherent vowel "a", and take one of several modifying vowel signs to represent syllables with another vowel or no vowel at all.

### Conjuncts of ഭ

As is common in Indic scripts, Malayalam joins letters together to form conjunct consonant clusters. There are several ways in which conjuncts are formed in Malayalam texts: using a post-base form of a trailing consonant placed under the initial consonant of a conjunct, a combined ligature of two or more consonants joined together, a conjoining form that appears as a combining mark on the rest of the conjunct, the use of an explicit candrakkala mark to suppress the inherent "a" vowel, or a special consonant form called a "chillu" letter, representing a bare consonant without the inherent "a" vowel. Texts written with the modern reformed Malayalam orthography, put̪iya lipi, may favor more regular conjunct forms than older texts in paḻaya lipi, due to changes undertaken in the 1970s by the Government of Kerala.
* ത് (t) + ഭ (bʰa) gives the ligature tbʰa:

## Odia Bha

Bha (ଭ) is a consonant of the Odia abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter , via the Siddhaṃ letter Bha. Like in other Indic scripts, Odia consonants have the inherent vowel "a", and take one of several modifying vowel signs to represent syllables with another vowel or no vowel at all.
Odia Bha with vowel matras :
| Bha | Bhā | Bhi | Bhī | Bhu | Bhū | Bhr̥ | Bhr̥̄ | Bhl̥ | Bhl̥̄ | Bhe | Bhai | Bho | Bhau | Bh |
| ଭ | ଭା | ଭି | ଭୀ | ଭୁ | ଭୂ | ଭୃ | ଭୄ | ଭୢ | ଭୣ | ଭେ | ଭୈ | ଭୋ | ଭୌ | ଭ୍ |

### Conjuncts of ଭ

As is common in Indic scripts, Odia joins letters together to form conjunct consonant clusters. The most common conjunct formation is achieved by using a small subjoined form of trailing consonants. Most consonants' subjoined forms are identical to the full form, just reduced in size, although a few drop the curved headline or have a subjoined form not directly related to the full form of the consonant. The second type of conjunct formation is through pure ligatures, where the constituent consonants are written together in a single graphic form. This ligature may be recognizable as being a combination of two characters or it can have a conjunct ligature unrelated to its constituent characters.
* ଦ୍ (d) + ଭ (bʰa) gives the ligature dbʰa:
* ମ୍ (m) + ଭ (bʰa) gives the ligature mbʰa:

## Tibetan

Bha is a consonant of the Tibetan abugida. Tibetan Bha is not genealogically related to Bha in other Indic scripts, but is rather a "compound" letter composed from Ba + Ha. It is not used for writing native Tibetan words, but can be found in terms borrowed from Sanskrit and other Indo-Aryan languages. It is, of course, used in writing Sanskrit.

## Kaithi Bha

Bha (𑂦) is a consonant of the Kaithi abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter , via the Siddhaṃ letter Bha. Like in other Indic scripts, Kaithi consonants have the inherent vowel "a", and take one of several modifying vowel signs to represent syllables with another vowel or no vowel at all.
Kaithi Bha with vowel matras :
| Bha | Bhā | Bhi | Bhī | Bhu | Bhū | Bhe | Bhai | Bho | Bhau | Bh |
| 𑂦 | 𑂦𑂰 | 𑂦𑂱 | 𑂦𑂲 | 𑂦𑂳 | 𑂦𑂴 | 𑂦𑂵 | 𑂦𑂶 | 𑂦𑂷 | 𑂦𑂸 | 𑂦𑂹 |

### Conjuncts of 𑂦

As is common in Indic scripts, Kaithi joins letters together to form conjunct consonant clusters. The most common conjunct formation is achieved by using a half form of preceding consonants, although several consonants use an explicit virama. Most half forms are derived from the full form by removing the vertical stem. As is common in most Indic scripts, conjucts of ra are indicated with a repha or rakar mark attached to the rest of the consonant cluster. In addition, there are a few vertical conjuncts that can be found in Kaithi writing, but true ligatures are not used in the modern Kaithi script.
* 𑂦୍ (bʰ) + 𑂩 (ra) gives the ligature a:
* 𑂩୍ (r) + 𑂦 (bʰa) gives the ligature a:

## Tirhuta Bha

Bha (𑒦) is a consonant of the Tirhuta abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter , via the Siddhaṃ letter Bha. Like in other Indic scripts, Tirhuta consonants have the inherent vowel "a", and take one of several modifying vowel signs to represent sylables with another vowel or no vowel at all.
Tirhuta Bha with vowel matras :
| Bha | Bhā | Bhi | Bhī | Bhu | Bhū | Bhṛ | Bhṝ | Bhḷ | Bhḹ | Bhē | Bhe | Bhai | Bhō | Bho | Bhau | Bh |
| 𑒦 | 𑒦𑒰 | 𑒦𑒱 | 𑒦𑒲 | 𑒦𑒳 | 𑒦𑒴 | 𑒦𑒵 | 𑒦𑒶 | 𑒦𑒷 | 𑒦𑒸 | 𑒦𑒹 | 𑒦𑒺 | 𑒦𑒻 | 𑒦𑒼 | 𑒦𑒽 | 𑒦𑒾 | 𑒦𑓂 |

### Conjuncts of 𑒦

As is common in Indic scripts, Tirhuta joins letters together to form conjunct consonant clusters. The most common conjunct formation is achieved by using an explicit virama. As is common in most Indic scripts, conjucts of ra are indicated with a repha or rakar mark attached to the rest of the consonant cluster. In addition, other consonants take unique combining forms when in conjunct with other letters, and there are a several vertical conjuncts and true ligatures that can be found in Tirhuta writing.
* 𑒦 (bʰ) + 𑒇 (ṛ) gives the ligature bʰṛ:
* 𑒦୍ (bʰ) + 𑒩 (ra) gives the ligature bʰra:
* 𑒦 (bʰ) + 𑒅 (u) gives the ligature bʰu:
* 𑒦 (bʰ) + 𑒆 (ū) gives the ligature bʰū:
* 𑒦୍ (bʰ) + 𑒫 (va) gives the ligature bʰva:
* 𑒩୍ (r) + 𑒦 (bʰa) gives the ligature rbʰa:
* 𑒞୍ (t) + 𑒦 (bʰa) gives the ligature tbʰa:

## Comparison of Bha

The various Indic scripts are generally related to each other through adaptation and borrowing, and as such the glyphs for cognate letters, including Bha, are related as well.
