U+10515 "𐔕" Elbasan Letter Nje Unicode Character

U+10515 "𐔕" Elbasan Letter Nje is a letter from the Elbasan script, an alphabet created in the 18th century by Gregory of Durrës for writing the Albanian language. This specific character represents the sound "nj," similar to the Spanish "ñ" or the Italian "gn," and it forms a core part of the Elbasan alphabet's phonetic inventory. The script was used primarily in the region of Elbasan, Albania, for religious texts and educational purposes before being largely supplanted by the Latin alphabet in modern Albanian writing. As a historical artifact, this letter helps scholars study the development of written Albanian and the unique orthographic traditions of the Balkan linguistic landscape.
