U+A84B "ꡋ" Phags-Pa Letter Na Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A84B "ꡋ" Phags-Pa Letter Na is a glyph from the Phags-Pa script, an alphabet created in the 13th century by the Tibetan monk and state preceptor Drogön Chögyal Phagpa for the Yuan dynasty emperor Kublai Khan to write Mongolian, Chinese, Tibetan, and other languages of the empire. This specific character represents the sound of the alveolar nasal consonant "n", and it is part of a block of Phags-Pa letters that were typically written vertically in columns, a style derived from Tibetan and Mongolian writing traditions. The script fell out of widespread use after the fall of the Yuan dynasty but remains of historical interest for its role in early attempts at a unified writing system for East and Central Asia.
