U+1141E "𑐞" Newa Letter Nna is a character used in the Newa script, which is historically employed to write the Nepal Bhasa language, primarily in the Kathmandu Valley. This specific letter represents the retroflex nasal consonant sound, akin to the "n" sound in English but pronounced with the tongue curled back against the palate. It is part of the Newa block within Unicode, added in version 9.0, and serves as an essential element in the accurate written representation of the language, which has seen a revival in recent years for cultural and literary preservation.
