U+11303 "𑌃" Grantha Sign Visarga Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑌃
U+11303 "𑌃" Grantha Sign Visarga is a diacritical mark used in the Grantha script, a historical writing system primarily employed for writing Sanskrit and occasionally Tamil in South India. It represents the visarga, a phonetic element that indicates a voiceless breath or aspiration after a vowel, often transliterated as "ḥ", comparable to its counterpart in the Devanagari script. This character is part of the Grantha block in Unicode and should not be confused with the similar-looking danda punctuation marks, as its specific function is solely to denote the visarga sound in textual contexts.
