U+11A39 "𑨹" Zanabazar Square Sign Visarga Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑨹

U+11A39 "𑨹" Zanabazar Square Sign Visarga is a specific punctuation mark used in the Zanabazar Square script, a historical abugida developed in the late 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar for writing Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Mongolian. Representing the visarga, a diacritical or stand alone sound in Sanskrit and related scripts that indicates a voiceless breath or an aspiration following a vowel, this character is encoded in the Unicode standard under the Zanabazar Square block, which was added in version 10.0 in 2017. It functions similarly to the visarga in Devanagari and other Indic scripts, appearing at the end of a word or syllable to modify pronunciation, and it is rendered as a small, double dot or circle like shape in the square, geometric style of the Zanabazar script, helping preserve the phonetic nuances of liturgical and scholarly texts.
