U+11C95 "𑲕" Marchen Subjoined Letter Nga Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑲕

U+11C95 "𑲕" Marchen Subjoined Letter Nga is a grapheme used in the Marchen script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically employed to write the Zhangzhung language in the Himalayan region of western Tibet. This specific character represents a subjoined form of the letter "Nga," meaning it is a diacritic-like variant that attaches below a preceding consonant to indicate a conjunct or secondary articulation, typically the sound /ŋ/. The Marchen script is closely linked to the Bon religious tradition and is used in a small number of surviving manuscripts, making this character valuable for scholars studying Tibetan history, linguistics, and paleography, though it is rarely encountered in modern digital text outside specialized fonts and Unicode implementations.
