ð‘–¾
U+115BE "ð‘–¾" Siddham Sign Visarga is a typographic mark used in the Siddham script, an historical abugida primarily employed for writing Sanskrit and for liturgical texts in Esoteric Buddhism, particularly in Japan, China, and Korea. This visarga, which appears as a pair of small circles or dots, indicates a voiceless breathy release after a vowel, often representing a final "h" sound in transliteration, and it functions as a diacritical modifier that changes the phonetic delivery of a syllable. In Siddham calligraphy and transcription, it serves a crucial role in accurately preserving the phonological details of sacred mantras and sutras, ensuring correct pronunciation during ritual recitation.
