Unicode Version 17.0

𑲝

U+11C9D "𑲝" Marchen Subjoined Letter Na is a character from the Marchen script, which was historically used in the Zhangzhung kingdom of ancient Tibet and later adopted for writing the Tibetan Bon religion's texts as well as certain Sanskrit transcriptions. This specific glyph represents a subjoined form of the letter "na," meaning it is written as a small mark attached below another consonant to modify the syllable's phonetics or to indicate a conjunct consonant cluster, a common feature in Brahmic scripts. In the Unicode standard, it belongs to the Marchen block (U+11C00–U+11C6F) and is typically used in scholarly contexts for digital encoding of manuscripts related to Bon and Zhangzhung language studies. Its inclusion ensures accurate representation and preservation of this obscure script in modern digital environments.
