U+10A1E "𐨞" Kharoshthi Letter Nna is a glyph from the Kharoshthi script, an ancient abugida historically used to write the Gāndhārī language and other Prakrits in parts of modern-day Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia from around the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This specific character represents the retroflex nasal consonant "ṇa," which is pronounced with the tongue curled back against the palate, and it is distinguished from the dental nasal "na" in the script. Within the Kharoshthi writing system, which is written from right to left, the letter Nna appears as a complex, angular symbol often resembling a hooked or looped shape, and it was an essential component for accurately transcribing the phonetic distinctions of the languages it recorded.
