U+11F01 "𑼁" Kawi Sign Anusvara Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11F01 "𑼁" Kawi Sign Anusvara is a diacritical mark used in the Kawi script, an ancient writing system from Southeast Asia historically employed to write languages such as Old Javanese, Balinese, and Sanskrit. This character represents the anusvara, a phonetic marker that indicates nasalization of a preceding vowel or, more specifically, a homorganic nasal sound (a nasal consonant that matches the place of articulation of a following consonant). In the Kawi script, it typically appears as a dot or small circle above or beside a syllable, modifying its pronunciation in a manner similar to the anusvara found in other Brahmic scripts like Devanagari. The addition of this sign to a base character creates a distinct nasalized syllable, playing a crucial role in accurately representing the phonological and orthographic conventions of texts inscribed or written in the Kawi tradition.
