Unicode Version 17.0
𑍲
U+11372 "𑍲" Combining Grantha Letter Na is a diacritical mark used in the Grantha script, a historical Brahmic script primarily employed to write Sanskrit and Tamil in South India. This combining character is designed to attach to a base consonant or vowel letter, modifying its sound to represent a specific nasal element related to the letter "Na." Unlike a standalone letter, it does not appear on its own but rather alters the pronunciation of the preceding syllable, playing a crucial role in accurately transliterating and preserving the phonetic nuances of sacred texts and classical literature within the Unicode standard.
