U+A843 "ꡃ" Phags-Pa Letter Nga Unicode Character

U+A843 "ꡃ" Phags-Pa Letter Nga is a symbol from the Phags-pa script, a writing system created in the 13th century by the Tibetan monk and statesman Drogön Chögyal Phagpa for the Yuan Dynasty to uniformly represent multiple languages, including Mongolian, Chinese, and Tibetan. This specific letter represents the voiced velar nasal sound "nga", akin to the "ng" in the English word "sing". The Phags-pa script itself was historically used for official government and religious texts during the Yuan period but eventually fell out of common use, though it remains an important subject of study for linguists and historians of East Asian writing systems.
