Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘‚–
U+11096 "𑂖" Kaithi Letter Nya is a grapheme used in the Kaithi script, a historical writing system employed primarily in northern India for languages such as Bhojpuri, Magahi, and Maithili. This character represents the palatal nasal sound /ɲ/, similar to the "ny" sound in the English word "canyon." Attested in manuscripts and records dating from the 16th to the mid-20th century, Kaithi was commonly used for administrative, legal, and personal documents before being largely supplanted by Devanagari. The glyph itself is visually distinct, consisting of a curved vertical stroke with a top horizontal bar, fitting within the broader category of the Brahmic script family.
