U+1C5D "ᱝ" Ol Chiki Letter Ang Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᱝ
U+1C5D "ᱝ" Ol Chiki Letter Ang is a specific grapheme from the Ol Chiki script, which was created in the 20th century by Pandit Raghunath Murmu for writing the Santali language, an Austroasiatic language primarily spoken in parts of India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. This character represents the velar nasal sound /ŋ/, similar to the 'ng' in the English word "sing", and is used within the script's inventory of letters to form accurate phonetic representations in Santali. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that the Ol Chiki script can be digitally encoded, preserved, and used across modern computer systems and platforms.
