Unicode Version 17.0
ྉ
U+0F89 "ྉ" Tibetan Sign Mchu Can is a combining diacritical mark used in the Tibetan script to indicate a subtle phonetic or grammatical feature, specifically denoting a "beak" or lip rounding effect on the base consonant it modifies. This sign appears as a small, curved stroke attached to the top or side of a Tibetan letter, serving to alter pronunciation in certain literary or ritual contexts, particularly in transliterating Sanskrit sounds or in specific Tibetan dialects. It is part of the Tibetan block in Unicode and is rarely used in modern writing, but remains important for accurate preservation of classical texts and traditional chant forms.
