Unicode Version 17.0
𑨃
U+11A03 "𑨃" Zanabazar Square Vowel Sign U is a combining diacritical mark used in the Zanabazar Square script, an abugida created in the 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar for writing liturgical texts, particularly in Tibetan and Sanskrit. This specific character represents the vowel sound "u" and is positioned above or attached to a consonant base character to modify its inherent vowel, thereby facilitating the accurate transcription of foreign sacred works. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard supports the digital preservation and rendering of this historical script, which was primarily employed in Buddhist manuscript traditions.
