Unicode Version 17.0
𑲵
U+11CB5 "𑲵" Marchen Sign Anusvara is a diacritical mark used in the Marchen script, which was historically employed to write the Zhang-Zhung language of the ancient Tibetan Bon tradition. This anusvara symbol, appearing as a dot above a character, indicates nasalization of the preceding vowel or syllable, similar to its function in other Indic-derived scripts like Devanagari or Tibetan. As part of the Marchen block encoded in Unicode version 9.0, this character supports the accurate representation of Tibetan historical texts, particularly those linked to the pre-Buddhist Bon religion.
