Unicode Version 17.0
ො
U+0DDC "ො" Sinhala Vowel Sign Kombuva Haa Aela-Pilla is a combining diacritical mark used in the Sinhala script to represent the vowel sound "o" (as in "go") by modifying a base consonant character. It is composed of two distinct graphic elements, the kombuva (a hook-like mark) and the aela-pilla (a raised curve-like sign), which are written together to the left and above the consonant respectively. This character functions as a dependent vowel sign, meaning it cannot stand alone but must be attached to a consonant to form a complete syllable in Sinhala orthography.
