Unicode Version 17.0
ੵ
U+0A75 "ੵ" Gurmukhi Sign Yakash is a diacritical mark used in the Gurmukhi script, primarily to represent a specific phonetic feature in certain Punjabi words. It functions as a subscript consonant modifier, most commonly associated with the sound of a soft "y" or "i" glide after a consonant, and is often employed to transcribe words from other languages, especially Persian or Arabic loanwords, into Gurmukhi. This sign appears as a small hook or curve attached beneath the base character, and its usage is relatively rare in modern, standard Punjabi, being more prevalent in older or more formally transcribed texts.
