U+0A99 "ઙ" Gujarati Letter Nga Unicode Character

U+0A99 "ઙ" Gujarati Letter Nga is a consonant in the Gujarati script representing the velar nasal sound, similar to the "ng" sound found in the English word "sing." It is the fifth character of the Gujarati abugida, typically used in words of native, Sanskrit, or other Indic origin, and appears primarily in contexts where the nasal sound occurs before other consonants, such as in the combination "ઙ્ક" (ngka). While its occurrence in modern Gujarati text is less common than letters like "ક" or "ગ," it remains an essential component of the script for accurate phonetic representation and is supported in Unicode for digital text encoding and rendering.
