Unicode Version 17.0
𑁄
U+11044 "𑁄" Brahmi Vowel Sign O is a combining diacritical mark used in the Brahmi script, an ancient writing system from the Indian subcontinent that is the ancestor of many modern South and Southeast Asian scripts. This vowel sign is placed after a consonant character to modify its inherent vowel sound, specifically representing the long vowel "O" as distinguished from the short "o" in Brahmi orthography. It belongs to the Brahmi block in Unicode, which was encoded to support scholarly work on historical inscriptions and texts, and its graphical form typically appears as a curved or hook-like stroke attached to the top or side of the base consonant glyph.
