U+0D7A "ൺ" Malayalam Letter Chillu Nn Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+0D7A "ൺ" Malayalam Letter Chillu Nn is a special consonant character in the Malayalam script used to represent the pure, vowel-less nasal sound "n" at the end of a syllable, specifically the retroflex nasal. It belongs to the category of "chillu" letters, which are distinct from regular consonant characters because they are standalone forms that do not have an inherent vowel or a visible virama (vowel killer) marker. This character is encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Malayalam block, enabling digital representation and processing of this unique phonetic feature in texts and computing systems.
