U+11702 "𑜂" Ahom Letter Nga Unicode Character

U+11702 "𑜂" Ahom Letter Nga is a character from the Ahom script, an abugida historically used to write the Ahom language, which was spoken in the medieval Ahom kingdom in present day Assam, India. This particular character represents the velar nasal sound, similar to the "ng" in the English word "sing," and forms part of a writing system derived from the Brahmi script, where consonants carry an inherent vowel. The Ahom script fell out of common use in the 19th century but has seen modern revival efforts, and its inclusion in Unicode as part of a larger block ensures digital preservation for linguistic and historical studies.
