Sanskrit writing

Can someone help with writing the word "Rta" meaning; truth, natural order, or natural law? I have seen two very slight variations on this in the first half of the symbol representing the "R".

Thanks. I am hoping to engrave this meaningful word into my wedding band.

Why Sanskrit? Why not English? It's very meaningful in English.

My Hindu coworker is shocked at how people think putting Sanskrit writing on their bodies as tattoos will make the tattoo "better" or more "mysterious" or a "conversation piece." Manisha says Sanskrit doesn't translate well; it's too ancient a language. She says 99% of the Sanskrit words and phrases people grab onto are incorrect. Someone on this site the other day was going to get a Sanskrit word tattooed on his body somewhere. The word he had chosen were the characters that spelled out "honikish" which Manisha says means absolutely nothing.

yeah I don't understand the trend either I think it is that they think the lines are prettier/softer and it is mystical. There are so many posts on here asking for translations from English to sanskrit. Then they complain that it wasn't translated right.

Honikish would mean my daugher calling her bf honey and his last name is Kish.
