U+11A09 "𑨉" Zanabazar Square Vowel Sign Reversed I Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11A09 "𑨉" Zanabazar Square Vowel Sign Reversed I is a combining diacritical mark used in the Zanabazar Square script, an abugida historically employed for writing Mongolian, Sanskrit, and Tibetan texts. This specific vowel sign modifies a consonant to represent the sound of a reversed or distinct 'i' vowel, and it typically appears as a mark above or attached to a base consonant character in the script. The Zanabazar Square script itself was created in the late 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar and is notable for its square, block-like letterforms inspired by Tibetan writing. The Reversed I vowel sign, like others in the script, plays a critical role in accurately representing phonetic distinctions in transliterated sacred literature and linguistic works.
