U+1A02 "ᨂ" Buginese Letter Nga Unicode Character

U+1A02 "ᨂ" Buginese Letter Nga is a specific glyph used in the Buginese script, which originates from the Bugis people of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This character represents the sound of the velar nasal consonant, equivalent to the "ng" sound in English words like "sing" or "long". It is part of the Buginese Unicode block, which was added to the standard in 2005 to support the digital preservation and writing of this ancient script, traditionally used for writing the Buginese and Makassar languages, though its everyday use has largely been supplanted by the Latin alphabet.
