U+0AFF "૿" Gujarati Sign Two-Circle Nukta Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
૿
U+0AFF "૿" Gujarati Sign Two-Circle Nukta Above is a recently encoded diacritical mark in the Gujarati script, introduced in Unicode version 14.0. It is composed of two small circles placed above a consonant character, functioning as a nukta to modify the sound of the base letter, particularly for representing foreign or borrowed sounds in the Gujarati writing system. This sign helps extend the script's phonetic range without requiring separate new consonant characters, and it is positioned above the character it modifies, similar to other nukta marks in Indic scripts.
