U+1119F "๐" Sharada Letter Nna Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
๐
U+1119F "๐" Sharada Letter Nna is a distinct consonant glyph used in the Sharada script, an ancient writing system historically employed to write Sanskrit and Kashmiri primarily in the Kashmir and Punjab regions of the Indian subcontinent. This specific letter represents the retroflex nasal sound ([ษณ]), which is notably different from the more common dental or palatal nasals in Indic languages, and it corresponds to the independent graphene used to write words with that specific phonetic attribute. Its inclusion in Unicode since 2014 under the Standard 7.0 release has been crucial for the digital preservation and scholarly study of classical and religious texts originally composed in Sharada.
