U+11C32 "饝安" Bhaiksuki Vowel Sign U is a combining diacritical mark used in the Bhaiksuki script, an ancient Brahmi-derived writing system historically employed in what is now parts of India, Nepal, and Tibet. This specific character represents the vowel sound "u" and is positioned after a consonant character to modify its inherent vowel, creating the "u" syllable. It is part of the Bhaiksuki block in Unicode, encoded in 2018 as part of a significant addition of historic scripts.
