U+11A34 "𑨴" Zanabazar Square Sign Virama Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11A34 "𑨴" Zanabazar Square Sign Virama is a control character used within the Zanabazar Square script, a historical abugida developed in the 17th century by Zanabazar for writing Mongolian, Tibetan, and Sanskrit. This sign functions as a virama, also known as a halant or killer stroke, whose primary purpose is to suppress the inherent vowel of a consonant letter. By being placed after a consonant, it indicates that the consonant is written with no following vowel sound, effectively creating a pure consonant or conjunct form. In the Zanabazar Square script, this virama is represented as a distinctive horizontal stroke or mark attached to the base character, facilitating the accurate transcription of languages that require consonant clusters or vowelless syllables.
