U+AAE8 "ꫨ" Meetei Mayek Letter Nna Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꫨ
U+AAE8 "ꫨ" Meetei Mayek Letter Nna is a letter in the Meetei Mayek script, which is used to write the Meitei language, primarily spoken in the Indian state of Manipur. This specific character represents the sound of a retroflex nasal consonant, pronounced like the "n" in "burn" with the tongue curled back, and it is distinct from other nasal letters in the script due to its place of articulation. The inclusion of this letter in the Unicode Standard was part of the larger effort to digitally encode the Meetei Mayek script, which was officially added to Unicode in version 5.2 in 2009, helping to preserve and support the written form of the Meitei language for modern computing and digital communication.
