𐦊

U+1098A "𐦊" Meroitic Hieroglyphic Letter Na is a glyph from the Meroitic Hieroglyphic block, which represents a sound in the Meroitic language, an ancient language spoken in the Kingdom of Kush, located in present-day Sudan. This specific character, pronounced as "na," is part of a hieroglyphic writing system that was used primarily for royal inscriptions and religious texts between the 3rd century BCE and the 4th century CE. Its design typically depicts a stylized symbol, often resembling an angled or curved shape, reflecting the script's visual connection to earlier Egyptian hieroglyphs while remaining distinct in its phonetic use. As a key letter in the Meroitic alphabet, "N0x" (or 𐦊) helps scholars decode the language and understand the cultural and historical legacy of the Meroitic civilization.
