Unicode Version 17.0
ꨊ
U+AA0A "ꨊ" Cham Letter Ngue is a character used in the Cham script, which is the writing system for the Cham language spoken by the Cham people in parts of Vietnam and Cambodia. This specific letter represents the sound "nga" or a velar nasal consonant, similar to the "ng" sound in the English word "song," and it forms part of the historical and modern orthography for Cham texts. The Cham script itself, encoded in the Cham Unicode block (U+AA00–U+AA5F), has a rich heritage dating back to inscriptions from the 4th century, and "ꨊ" remains actively used in contemporary writing, cultural documents, and liturgical contexts among Cham communities.
