U+11173 "ð‘…³" Mahajani Sign Nukta Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘…³
U+11173 "ð‘…³" Mahajani Sign Nukta is a diacritical mark used in the Mahajani script, which was historically employed primarily for commercial and accounting documents in parts of North India. This sign, known as a nukta, functions to modify the pronunciation of a consonant by attaching a dot below or near the base character, typically indicating a borrowed or non-native sound, such as from Persian or other languages, that is not inherent to the standard Mahajani inventory. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard supports the accurate digital representation and preservation of this historic script, allowing for the correct transcription of nuanced linguistic features in manuscripts and modern text processing.
