U+11181 "𑆁" Sharada Sign Anusvara Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11181 "𑆁" Sharada Sign Anusvara is a diacritical mark used in the Sharada script, an ancient writing system primarily associated with the Kashmiri language and other languages of the northwestern Indian subcontinent. This sign represents an anusvara, which in many Brahmic scripts denotes nasalization of the preceding vowel or a homorganic nasal consonant, depending on the phonological context. In the Sharada script, it appears as a dot above or near a character, functioning similarly to the anusvara in Devanagari or other Indic scripts. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation and preservation of historical texts written in Sharada, facilitating scholarly work on manuscripts and inscriptions from regions like Kashmir and surrounding areas.
