U+119CC "𑧌" Nandinagari Letter Ssa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+119CC "𑧌" Nandinagari Letter Ssa is a glyph representing a specific consonant in the Nandinagari script, a historical Brahmic abugida used primarily to write Sanskrit and other languages in southern India, particularly in the region of Karnataka. This character corresponds to the retroflex sibilant sound /ʂ/, similar to the "sh" in "shun" but articulated with the tongue curled back. Belonging to the Nandinagari Unicode block, which was added in version 12.0 of the Unicode Standard, the letter Ssa is one of several characters that support the transcription of ancient manuscripts and inscriptions, ensuring that this script, closely related to Devanagari but distinct in its rounded shapes, is preserved and digitally accessible for scholarly and linguistic purposes.
