U+11D15 "𑴕" Masaram Gondi Letter Nya Unicode Character

U+11D15 "𑴕" Masaram Gondi Letter Nya is a specific glyph within the Masaram Gondi script, a writing system designed for the Gondi language spoken by the Gondi people in central India. This character represents the palatal nasal sound, similar to the 'ñ' in the English word "canyon", and is part of a modern script created in the early 20th century by Munshi Mangal Singh Masaram. The script was developed to provide a distinct written form for Gondi, distinct from other Indian scripts like Devanagari, and the letter Nya is used in writing words that contain this particular nasal consonant. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for digital representation and preservation of the Gondi language and culture.
