Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0929 "ऩ" Devanagari Letter Nnna is a rare and specialized character used in the Devanagari script to represent a retroflex nasal sound, distinct from the more common dental nasal represented by "न". This character is primarily employed in transliterating certain Dravidian languages, such as Tamil and Malayalam, into the Devanagari writing system, where it captures the precise pronunciation of words containing the retroflex nasal that does not naturally occur in standard Sanskrit or Hindi. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures accurate digital representation for linguistic and academic purposes, preserving phonetic nuances in written texts.
