Cha (Indic)
Cha is the seventh consonant of Indic abugidas. In modern Brahmic scripts, Indic scripts, cha is derived from the early "Ashoka" Brahmi letter , which is Brahmi script#Semitic model hypothesis, probably derived from the Aramaic letter ("Q") after having gone through the Gupta script, 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 छ are: *छ = 7 (७) *छि = 700 (७००) *छु = 70,000 (७० ०००) *छृ = 7,000,000 (७० ०० ०००) *छॢ = 7 (७०८) *छे = 7 (७०१०) *छै = 7 (७०१२) *छो = 7 (७०१४) *छौ = 7 (७०१६) Historic Cha There are three different general early historic scripts - Brahmi script, Brahmi and its variants, Kharosthi, Kharoṣṭhī, and Tocharian alphabet, Tocharian, the so-called ''slanting Brahmi''.

This contrasts with a full alphabet, in which vowels have status equal to consonants, and with an abjad, in which vowel marking is absent, Abjad#Impure abjads, partial, or optional – in less formal contexts, all three types of the script may be termed "alphabets". The terms also contrast them with a syllabary, in which a single symbol denotes the combination of one consonant and one vowel. Related concepts were introduced independently in 1948 by James Germain Février (using the term ) and David Diringer (using the term ''semisyllabary''), then in 1959 by Fred Householder (introducing the term ''pseudo-alphabet'').
