U+1112F "𑄯" Chakma Vowel Sign Au Unicode Character
U+1112F "𑄯" Chakma Vowel Sign Au is a combining diacritical mark used in the Chakma script, an abugida employed for writing the Chakma language spoken primarily in Bangladesh and parts of India. This specific vowel sign modifies a consonant character to represent the vowel sound "au," altering the inherent vowel of the syllabic base. It appears as a distinct glyph placed above or around the consonant, integral to correctly spelling words in the Chakma orthography. As part of the Chakma block in Unicode, which was encoded in version 6.1 in 2012, this character supports the digital preservation and literacy of the Chakma language. Its inclusion in the standard ensures that texts in the Chakma script can be accurately represented and processed across different computing platforms and software.
