Unicode Version 17.0

ð‘‚‚

U+11082 "ð‘‚‚" Kaithi Sign Visarga is a diacritical mark used in the Kaithi script, a historical writing system primarily employed for languages like Angika, Bhojpuri, Magahi, and Urdu in North India. This sign represents the visarga, a phonetic feature in Sanskrit and related languages that indicates a voiceless glottal fricative sound, often transliterated as "h" with a distinct articulation following a vowel. In Kaithi orthography, it appears as a pair of dots or small circles placed after a character, modifying its pronunciation similarly to the visarga in Devanagari and other Brahmic scripts, and it is encoded in the Unicode standard under the Kaithi block for digital text representation and preservation of this historic script.
