U+11C75 "𑱵" Marchen Letter Nga Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑱵
U+11C75 "𑱵" Marchen Letter Nga is a glyph from the Marchen script, an ancient Brahmi-derived writing system historically used in the Zhangzhung kingdom of the Tibetan Plateau to record religious and administrative texts. This specific character represents the sound /ŋ/, corresponding to the velar nasal consonant found in words like "sing". As part of the Marchen block encoded in Unicode version 9.0 released in 2016, it helps preserve the linguistic heritage of a civilization that played a significant role in the early spread of Buddhism across Central Asia, although the script is now largely obsolete except in academic and revivalist contexts.
