Unicode Version 17.0
𑽚
U+11F5A "𑽚" Kawi Sign Nukta is a diacritical mark used in the Kawi script, an ancient writing system employed across Maritime Southeast Asia for writing Old Javanese, Sanskrit, and other languages. This sign functions similarly to the nukta in South Asian scripts, applied beneath a consonant symbol to modify its pronunciation, typically indicating a borrowed or non-native sound. It was introduced into the Unicode Standard as part of the Kawi block to support accurate digital representation of historical texts, enabling scholars and linguists to preserve and study the phonological distinctions present in premodern manuscripts.
