Unicode Version 17.0
ꠉ
U+A809 "ꠉ" Syloti Nagri Letter Go is a glyph used in the Syloti Nagri script, an abugida historically employed to write the Sylheti language, primarily spoken in the Sylhet region of Bangladesh and parts of Northeast India. This character represents the voiced velar plosive sound /ɡ/, similar to the English "g" in "go," and it is part of a writing system that developed from the Brahmi family of scripts, known for its distinctive rounded shapes. Within the Unicode Standard, it belongs to the Syloti Nagri block and is used in modern digital contexts to preserve and type the Sylheti language, though the script has largely been supplanted by Bengali script in everyday use.
