U+A98A "ꦊ" Javanese Letter Nga Lelet Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A98A "ꦊ" Javanese Letter Nga Lelet is a syllabic character used in the Javanese script, representing the sound "nga" with an inherent vowel that is modified to a lelet or retroflexed form, making it distinct from the standard letter Nga. This character is part of the Javanese language and its writing system, which is primarily used to write Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, and sometimes Old Javanese and Sanskrit, predominantly on the Indonesian island of Java. The letter Nga Lelet is composed of the base consonant "ng" combined with a diacritic or special shaping to indicate the lelet vowel, and it fits into the broader Unicode block for Javanese script, which was added to the Unicode Standard in version 5.2 to support digital representation of this ancient and culturally significant script.
