U+1A0B "ᨋ" Buginese Letter Nra Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᨋ
U+1A0B "ᨋ" Buginese Letter Nra is a symbol used in the Lontara script, a traditional abugida historically employed to write the Buginese language of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, as well as related languages like Makassar. This specific character represents a prenasalized consonant sound, typically transcribed as /nr/ or a similar retroflex nasal cluster, and it is one of several letters in the script that combine a base consonant with an inherent vowel /a/. The Lontara script itself has roots in the Brahmic family of scripts and is still used in ceremonial contexts and for cultural preservation, though it has largely been replaced by the Latin alphabet in daily communication.
