U+1115D "𑅝" Mahajani Letter Nya Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑅝
U+1115D "𑅝" Mahajani Letter Nya is a character from the Mahajani script, an abugida historically used in the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent primarily for mercantile and accounting purposes from the 11th to the 20th century. This character represents the syllable "nya," similar to the palatal nasal sound found in many Indian languages. It is part of the Mahajani block in Unicode, which was added to support the digital encoding of this largely historical script. While the script saw widespread use in business ledgers and correspondence, it has largely fallen out of common usage today, making characters like 𑅝 important for scholarly and linguistic preservation efforts.
