Unicode Version 17.0

U+0980 "ঀ" Bengali Anji is a sign used in the Bengali script, classified as a diacritical mark that historically represents the vowel inherent in the script's consonant characters, though in modern Bengali it is typically not used as an independent character. It is part of the Unicode block for Bengali, which covers the script for the Bengali language primarily spoken in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. The anji sign has a distinct visual form resembling a small curved stroke, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate representation of historical and specialized Bengali texts where this mark appears.
