U+119BF "𑦿" Nandinagari Letter Da Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑦿
U+119BF "𑦿" Nandinagari Letter Da is a grapheme from the Nandinagari script, a historical Brahmic abugida primarily used in southern India from the 8th to the 19th centuries for writing Sanskrit and occasionally Kannada, Telugu, or Marathi texts. This character represents the unaspirated voiced dental stop consonant /d̪a/, serving as a fundamental building block for spelling in the script. Nandinagari itself is distinct from its more famous descendant, Devanagari, and was often employed for inscriptional and manuscript works, particularly in religious and royal contexts. The inclusion of this letter in Unicode under the Nandinagari block (U+119A0 to U+119D7) facilitates digital preservation and study of this ancient writing system.
