Unicode Version 17.0
ဉ
U+1009 "ဉ" Myanmar Letter Nya is a consonant in the Burmese script, used primarily in the Myanmar language and other languages written with that script, such as Mon and Shan. It represents the palatal nasal sound /ɲ/, similar to the "ny" in the English word "canyon," and is an integral part of the Myanmar alphabet, where it functions both as an independent letter and as a medial or final component in complex syllable structures. In written Burmese, it is often typed with a distinctive curled shape and is a key element in the script's system of stacking and combining with diacritics to represent different tones and vowels.
