Source: Browser Default
U+03EA "Ϫ" Coptic Capital Letter Gangia is a letter from the Coptic alphabet, which was used to write the Egyptian language in the early Christian era, derived from the Greek alphabet with additional signs for native sounds. Specifically, the Gangia represents a velar or palatal fricative, often transliterated as "g" or "ng," and it appears in certain Coptic dialects to denote a sound not found in Greek. As a capital letter, it typically corresponds to its lowercase version (U+03EB "ϫ"), and its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation of Coptic texts, which are important for liturgical, historical, and linguistic studies.
