U+119AE "𑦮" Nandinagari Letter Ka Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑦮
U+119AE "𑦮" Nandinagari Letter Ka is a character from the Nandinagari script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically used primarily in South India for writing Sanskrit and Kannada texts, often in manuscript and inscription contexts. This specific letter represents the consonant sound "ka" and is part of the Nandinagari block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in Version 14.0 (2021) to facilitate the digital preservation and study of this historical script. Its inclusion aids scholars and linguists in accurately encoding and transcribing Nandinagari documents, bridging a gap in the digital representation of India's diverse script heritage.
