U+119DF "ð‘§Ÿ" Nandinagari Sign Visarga Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð‘§Ÿ

U+119DF "𑧟" Nandinagari Sign Visarga is a glyph used in the Nandinagari script, which is a historical Brahmic abugida primarily employed to write Sanskrit and other languages in parts of southern India. This specific character represents the visarga, a diacritical mark that indicates a voiceless breath or aspiration sound after a vowel, phonetically transcribed as a final "ḥ". In the Nandinagari script, the visarga sign is positioned after the vowel it modifies, functioning similarly to its counterpart in other Brahmic scripts like Devanagari, though with its own distinct paleographic shape. The character was encoded in Unicode version 14.0 (released in 2021) as part of the Nandinagari block, enabling digital representation and preservation of this ancient script's orthography.
