𖄬

U+1612C "𖄬" Gurung Khema Consonant Sign Medial Ha is a diacritical mark used in the Gurung Khema script, which was developed for writing the Gurung language spoken in Nepal. This character specifically represents a medial "ha" sound, functioning as a consonant sign that modifies the pronunciation of a preceding base consonant by inserting an intervening /h/ glides or a related aspirated quality within a syllable. It is part of the broader Gurung Khema block in Unicode, which was added to support the modern orthographic needs of the Gurung community, ensuring accurate representation of their language's phonology. This sign is typically combined with other consonant characters to form complex syllables, distinguishing the Gurung Khema script from other Brahmic-derived writing systems that use different marks for medial sounds.
