This character belongs to the Gurung Khema block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2022 to support the written representation of the Gurung language spoken in Nepal. As a combining mark, it appears after a consonant character in text processing, creating a ligature-like effect that changes the syllable from a plain consonant to a consonant cluster featuring a 'va' glide.
