Source: Browser Default
U+16EAE "𖺮" Beria Erfe Capital Letter Ngay is a typographic symbol from the Beria Erfe script, an alphabet historically used to write the Berta language in parts of Sudan and Ethiopia. This particular character represents the capital form of the letter designated as "Ngay," which corresponds to the sound of the velar nasal "ŋ" in the Berta language, similar to the "ng" sound in the English word "song." The Beria Erfe script itself is believed to have been created by Sheikh Bakri Sapalo in the 20th century to promote literacy among Berta speakers, and the inclusion of this capital letter in the Unicode standard helps preserve and digitally represent this unique writing system for modern use.
