U+07B1 "ޱ" Thaana Letter Naa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ޱ
U+07B1 "ޱ" Thaana Letter Naa is the final letter in the Thaana alphabet used to write the Dhivehi language of the Maldives, representing the retroflex nasal sound /ɳ/. Unlike most other Thaana letters, which are derived from Arabic numerals, this character is a unique invention of the script, created specifically to represent a sound not found in Arabic. It is written with a distinct diacritical mark, a small raised "haa" shape above the base letter, and is employed primarily in loanwords from Sanskrit, Hindi, and other South Asian languages where the retroflex nasal occurs.
