Unicode Version 17.0
𑆕
U+11195 "𑆕" Sharada Letter Nga is a symbol from the Sharada script, an ancient abugida historically used to write the Kashmiri and Sanskrit languages in the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent, particularly in Kashmir. This specific letter represents the velar nasal consonant sound "ng," akin to the sound in the English word "sing," and forms part of the standard consonant inventory of the script. The Sharada script, which dates back to at least the 8th century CE, is primarily associated with religious and literary manuscripts, and letter Nga is used in the transcription of both native Kashmiri words and Sanskrit texts, though its modern usage is largely confined to scholarly and ceremonial contexts.
