𑵀

U+11D40 "𑵀" Masaram Gondi Sign Anusvara is a diacritical mark used in the Masaram Gondi script, which was designed in the early 20th century for writing the Gondi language spoken by the Gondi people of central India. This sign represents the anusvara, a phonetic marker that indicates nasalization of the preceding vowel or, in some contexts, a homorganic nasal consonant that follows a vowel within a syllable. In the Masaram Gondi script, the anusvara appears as a small circular dot placed above the consonant or vowel it modifies, playing a crucial role in accurately representing nasal sounds in the Gondi phonology. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital text in this script can be reliably encoded, exchanged, and displayed across different devices and platforms.
