U+119B3 "𑦳" Nandinagari Letter Ca Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+119B3 "𑦳" Nandinagari Letter Ca is a specific glyph from the Nandinagari script, a historical Brahmic writing system primarily used from the 7th to the 19th centuries to write Sanskrit, Kannada, and other languages in South India. This character represents the consonant sound "ca" (similar to the English "cha" in "chat") and, as a typical abugida letter, it carries an inherent vowel, most commonly the short 'a' sound. The Nandinagari script is closely related to other Nagari scripts and was often employed in inscriptions and manuscripts, yet it is now largely obsolete in everyday writing. Its inclusion in Unicode since version 12.0 (2019) ensures that scholars and digital historians can accurately encode and represent this ancient script for linguistic research and archival preservation.
