U+1131E "𑌞" Grantha Letter Nya Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑌞
U+1131E "𑌞" Grantha Letter Nya is a script symbol from the Grantha abugida, which is traditionally used to write classical Sanskrit and Manipravalam in South India. This character represents the palatal nasal consonant "nya," phonetically similar to the "ñ" sound in "canyon" or the "ny" in "cognac." It functions as a distinct letter in the Grantha script, which has historically been employed for religious, scholarly, and literary texts, particularly in Tamil-speaking regions where Grantha was used to render Sanskrit sounds not present in the Tamil script.
