U+112E9 "𑋩" Khudawadi Sign Nukta Unicode Character

U+112E9 "𑋩" Khudawadi Sign Nukta is a diacritical mark used in the Khudawadi script, which was historically employed for writing the Sindhi language in parts of South Asia. This sign functions similarly to the generic nukta found in other Brahmic scripts, modifying the inherent sound of a consonant character by adding a dot beneath it to indicate a phoneme borrowed from other languages, such as Persian or Arabic, that is not native to the standard consonant inventory. Specifically, when attached to a Khudawadi letter, the Nukta alters its pronunciation, enabling accurate representation of foreign or nuanced sounds like the retroflex flap or aspirated stops, thereby making the script more versatile for accurately transcribing the full phonetic range of spoken Sindhi.
