U+11612 "𑘒" Modi Letter Nga Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑘒
U+11612 "𑘒" Modi Letter Nga is a specific glyph from the Modi script, an historical abugida used primarily to write the Marathi language in western India from the 17th to the mid-20th century. This character represents the velar nasal consonant sound "nga," akin to the "ng" in the English word "sing," and serves as the fifth consonant in the Modi script's consonantal inventory. As part of the Unicode Standard since version 7.0 in 2014, this letter is encoded in the Modi block to preserve the digital representation of this historical writing system, which was once a key script for Marathi administrative and literary documents before being largely replaced by the Devanagari script.
