Unicode Version 17.0
໌
U+0ECC "໌" Lao Cancellation Mark is a combining diacritical mark used in the Lao script to indicate that the inherent vowel of a consonant should be cancelled or silenced, often to form a final consonant cluster or to denote a dead syllable. Positioned above the base consonant, this mark modifies pronunciation by eliminating the default vowel sound, and it is essential for accurately representing certain words in the Lao language, particularly those with borrowed or complex syllabic structures.
