U+11498 "ð‘’˜" Tirhuta Letter Nya Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘’˜
U+11498 "ð‘’˜" Tirhuta Letter Nya is a glyph from the Tirhuta script, used historically to write the Maithili language primarily in the Mithila region of India and Nepal. This letter represents the palatal nasal sound "nya" as in the English word "canyon" and is one of many consonant characters in the Tirhuta abugida, where each consonant carries an inherent vowel sound. Despite being encoded in Unicode, the Tirhuta script is not widely used in digital writing today, having been largely replaced by the Devanagari script for Maithili, though it retains cultural and scholarly significance.
