U+0F4E "ཎ" Tibetan Letter Nna is a specific consonant used in the Tibetan script, representing a retroflex nasal sound that is distinct from the regular dental nasal "n". This letter corresponds to the retroflex "ṇa" found in Sanskrit and is essential for accurately transcribing Sanskrit loanwords and mantras into Tibetan, where it appears as one of the thirty basic consonants in the Tibetan alphasyllabary. Its pronunciation involves curling the tongue back to the palate, setting it apart from other nasal sounds in the language, and it is typically transliterated as "ṇ" in romanization systems.
