U+105CD "" Todhri Letter Nga Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+105CD "" Todhri Letter Nga is a character from the Todhri script, an ancient Albanian writing system traditionally attributed to the 17th century scholar Todhri Hysenaj, though its origins and usage remain a subject of historical debate. This letter represents the sound /ŋ/ (like the "ng" in "song") and is part of a small, minimally attested alphabet discovered in later manuscripts primarily associated with the Elbasan region of Albania. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and study of this rare script, which is notable for its distinct, curvilinear letterforms and its role in the broader history of Albanian language documentation.
