U+11915 "𑤕" Dives Akuru Letter Nya Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑤕
U+11915 "𑤕" Dives Akuru Letter Nya is a glyph used in the Dives Akuru script, an ancient and historical writing system primarily employed to write the Divehi language of the Maldives and some regions of the Lakshadweep islands. This letter represents the palatal nasal sound, often transliterated as "nya," similar to the "ñ" in the Spanish word "niño" or the "gn" in Italian. As part of the Dives Akuru script, its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent a significant piece of Maldivian cultural and linguistic heritage that has largely been supplanted by the modern Thaana script.
