Unicode Version 17.0
ꡇ
U+A847 "ꡇ" Phags-Pa Letter Nya is a specific glyph from the Phags-pa script, an alphabet created in the 13th century during the Yuan Dynasty of China to uniformly write Mongolian, Chinese, Tibetan, and other languages. This particular letter, named Nya, represents a palatal nasal sound, equivalent to the "ñ" in Spanish or the "ny" in "canyon", and was used in transliterating Sanskrit and other Asian languages into the Phags-pa system. The Phags-pa script, designed by the Tibetan monk and imperial preceptor Drogön Chögyal Phagpa, fell out of use after the Yuan Dynasty ended in the 14th century, making characters like U+A847 important for historical linguistic study and digital preservation of ancient texts.
