Unicode Version 17.0
𑲶
U+11CB6 "𑲶" Marchen Sign Candrabindu is a diacritical mark used in the Marchen script, an abugida historically employed to write the extinct Zhangzhung language of western Tibet. This character indicates a nasalization of the vowel it modifies, specifically represented by a candrabindu, which is a crescent moon shape with a dot, placed above or attached to a base consonant or vowel sign. It functions similarly to the anusvara or candrabindu in other Brahmic scripts, altering pronunciation by adding a nasal quality to the preceding vowel. In the Unicode standard, it is part of the Marchen block, encoded for digital text representation and scholarly preservation of this ancient script.
