U+112EA "𑋪" Khudawadi Sign Virama Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑋪
U+112EA "𑋪" Khudawadi Sign Virama is a diacritical mark used in the Khudawadi script, an abugida historically employed to write the Sindhi language in parts of South Asia. Its primary function is to suppress the inherent vowel that normally follows a consonant character, thereby creating a conjunct or a standalone consonant form. As a virama, it acts as a vowel killer, allowing for the accurate transcription of complex syllable structures and the representation of consonant clusters in written Khudawadi. This character is essential for proper orthographic representation of the language and is part of the Unicode block dedicated to the Khudawadi script.
