U+1A0F "ᨏ" Buginese Letter Nyca Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᨏ
U+1A0F "ᨏ" Buginese Letter Nyca is a symbol from the Buginese script, historically used to write the Bugis and Makassar languages of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Representing a prenasalized palatal sound similar to "ny" in English, this letter is part of the Lontara alphabet, which traditionally did not include punctuation or word spacing in its handwritten form. The character was encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Buginese block to support digital preservation and revival of this Austronesian script, though modern usage has declined with the adoption of the Latin alphabet.
