U+11A53 "ð‘©“" Soyombo Vowel Sign U Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘©“
U+11A53 "ð‘©“" Soyombo Vowel Sign U is a combining diacritical mark used in the Soyombo script, an abugida historically employed for writing the Mongolian and Tibetan languages, particularly in Buddhist contexts. This character specifically represents the vowel sound /u/ and is attached to a consonant character to modify its inherent vowel, appearing as a distinct stroke or hook above or around the base consonant. As part of the Soyombo block added to Unicode in 2017, this sign helps preserve and digitally encode a script known for its ornate, calligraphic style and its association with Mongolian Buddhist traditions and the 17th century scholar Zanabazar.
