Unicode Version 17.0

𑨶

U+11A36 "𑨶" Zanabazar Square Sign Candrabindu with Ornament is a diacritical mark used in the Zanabazar Square script, which was historically employed for writing the Mongolian, Tibetan, and Sanskrit languages, particularly in Buddhist texts. This character represents a variant of the candrabindu (a nasalization symbol often resembling a crescent moon with a dot) enhanced with an ornamental decorative element, distinguishing it from the plain candrabindu. It is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Zanabazar Square block, and its function is to modify a preceding consonant by indicating a specific nasalized vowel sound, typically in religious or classical manuscript contexts. The ornamentation suggests it may have served a stylistic or calligraphic purpose in formal inscriptions or liturgical documents.
