Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘°¾
U+11C3E "𑰾" Bhaiksuki Sign Visarga is a diacritical mark used in the Bhaiksuki script, an ancient Brahmi-derived writing system employed primarily for writing Buddhist texts in parts of South and Central Asia. This sign represents the visarga, a phoneme that indicates a voiceless breath or aspiration after a vowel, typically transliterated as "ḥ" in Romanized text. It appears as a small circle or dot-like symbol attached to a character and serves to modify the pronunciation of the preceding syllable, preserving linguistic details in historical manuscripts. The character is encoded in the Unicode Bhaiksuki block, which was added to the standard in 2018 to support the digital representation of this endangered script.
