Unicode Version 17.0
U+11A35 "𑨵" Zanabazar Square Sign Candrabindu is a diacritical mark used in the Zanabazar Square script, an abugida created in the 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar for writing Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Mongolian. This particular sign, known as candrabindu, functions as a nasalization marker, typically added above a consonant or vowel to indicate that the syllable it accompanies should be pronounced with a nasal tone. In the Zanabazar Square writing system, which was designed primarily for religious and scholarly texts, this character plays a key role in accurately representing the phonetic nuances of the liturgical languages associated with Buddhism, thereby preserving subtle distinctions in pronunciation that are important for correct recitation.
