Unicode Version 17.0
ᨎ
U+1A0E "ᨎ" Buginese Letter Nya is a character from the Lontara script, which is historically used to write the Buginese language of Sulawesi, Indonesia, as well as related languages like Makassar and Mandar. Representing the syllable "nya," it is part of the abugida writing system where each consonant character carries an inherent vowel sound, typically "a," and can be modified with diacritics to change the vowel. This specific letter corresponds to the palatal nasal sound similar to the "ny" in the English word "canyon," and it plays a role in writing a variety of traditional texts, including historical records, literature, and contemporary communications in digital formats since its inclusion in Unicode.
