U+105A "ၚ" Myanmar Letter Mon Nga Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ၚ
U+105A "ၚ" Myanmar Letter Mon Nga is a character used in the Mon language of Myanmar, representing the voiced velar nasal sound /ŋ/, which is the same sound as the English "ng" in the word "sing." It is part of the Myanmar script block in Unicode and is visually distinct from the standard Myanmar letter Nga (င) because of its curled or looped tail, a unique feature of the Mon variant of the script. This character is essential for accurately writing Mon, especially in religious and historical texts, and helps preserve the linguistic distinctions between Mon and other languages using the Myanmar script.
