Unicode Version 17.0
ၲ
U+1072 "ၲ" Myanmar Vowel Sign Kayah Oe is a combining diacritical mark used in the Kayah language, which is spoken in parts of Myanmar and Thailand, to represent a specific vowel sound. It visually appears as a small, hooked mark placed above a base consonant character, modifying its pronunciation to produce the "oe" sound, similar to the vowel in English "bird" but with a more rounded quality. This sign is part of the Myanmar Extended-A block in Unicode, which was designed to support the writing systems of minority languages in the region, and it must be used in combination with a supporting font to render correctly in digital text.
