Unicode Version 17.0
ᮍ
U+1B8D "ᮍ" Sundanese Letter Nga is a character from the Sundanese script, an abugida used to write the Sundanese language spoken primarily in the Indonesian province of West Java. This particular letter represents the velar nasal sound /ŋ/, which is the same as the "ng" sound in the English word "sing." In the Sundanese script, characters are arranged in traditional order based on the Brahmic family of scripts, and "nga" appears as the fourth consonant in the standard syllable chart. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for accurate digital representation and preservation of the Sundanese language and cultural heritage in modern computing environments.
