U+116AD "ð‘š" Takri Vowel Sign Aa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘š
U+116AD "ð‘š" Takri Vowel Sign Aa is a combining diacritical mark used in the Takri script, an abugida historically employed to write several languages of the Himalayan region, such as Dogri, Chambeali, and Mandeali. This vowel sign modifies a consonant character by adding the long "aa" vowel sound, distinguishing it from the default inherent short "a" vowel in the script. In typographic contexts, it appears as a curved stroke attached to the top or right side of a consonant's stem, and its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital texts in these languages can be accurately represented, preserving a vital part of the cultural and linguistic heritage of northern India.
