U+0D82 "ං" Sinhala Sign Anusvaraya Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ං
U+0D82 "ං" Sinhala Sign Anusvaraya is a diacritical mark used in the Sinhala script to indicate a nasalized sound, specifically representing a homorganic nasal, which means it changes its pronunciation to match the following consonant's point of articulation. It does not stand alone as an independent character but is attached to the top of a base consonant or vowel letter to modify its sound, functioning similarly to the anusvara in other Indic scripts. In Unicode, it is classified as a nonspacing combining mark, meaning it visually combines with the preceding character in a text string without occupying its own horizontal space.
