U+0A70 "ੰ" Gurmukhi Tippi Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ੰ
U+0A70 "ੰ" Gurmukhi Tippi is a diacritical mark used in the Gurmukhi script, primarily for writing the Punjabi language. It functions as a nasalization sign, indicating that the vowel sound in the syllable it accompanies should be pronounced with a nasal tone, similar to the "n" or "m" sound in English but without forming a separate consonant. This character appears directly above the consonant or vowel symbol it modifies, altering the pronunciation without adding a full nasal letter to the orthography.
