U+A932 "ꤲ" Rejang Letter Nga Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A932 "ꤲ" Rejang Letter Nga is a script symbol from the Rejang alphabet, historically used to write the Rejang language of Sumatra, Indonesia, where it represents the velar nasal sound /ŋ/, similar to the "ng" in the English word "sing." This character is part of the Rejang block, added to the Unicode Standard in version 5.1 in 2008 to support the preservation and digital encoding of the indigenous script, which is written left to right and features a distinctive abugida structure where consonants carry an inherent vowel. Despite its cultural significance, the Rejang script is now rarely used in daily communication, making this character a vital digital tool for linguistic research, historical documentation, and efforts to revitalize the writing system.
