Unicode Version 17.0
ޮ
U+07AE "ޮ" Thaana Obofili is a combining vowel sign used in the Thaana script, which is the writing system for the Dhivehi language spoken in the Maldives. This diacritic mark is placed above a consonant letter to modify its inherent vowel sound, specifically representing a long "o" vowel, akin to the sound in the English word "go." It serves as an essential component in accurately representing the phonetic structure of Dhivehi words, distinguishing meanings that would otherwise be ambiguous without vowel indication.
