Unicode Version 17.0
𑼃
U+11F03 "𑼃" Kawi Sign Visarga is a diacritical mark used in the Kawi script, an ancient writing system from Southeast Asia primarily employed to write Old Javanese, Sanskrit, and other regional languages. It represents the visarga, a post-vocalic voiceless glottal fricative sound, often transliterated as an "ḥ" in romanized texts, and appears as a pair of dots or a similar glyph following a vowel. This character was added to the Unicode Standard in version 14.0 as part of the Kawi block, supporting the accurate digital representation of historical manuscripts and inscriptions from Java, Bali, and Sumatra. Its inclusion aids scholars and linguists in preserving and analyzing the linguistic heritage of the region.
