U+1715 "᜕" Tagalog Sign Pamudpod Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
᜕
U+1715 "᜕" Tagalog Sign Pamudpod is a diacritical mark used in the historical Hanunóo and Buhid scripts of the Philippines to cancel the inherent vowel of a consonant character, effectively acting as a vowel killer to indicate a final consonant sound. Unlike a visible space or separate character, this sign appears as a short horizontal stroke placed above or alongside a syllable block, functioning similarly to a virama in other Brahmic scripts. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that scholars, linguists, and cultural preservationists can accurately represent ancient Tagalog-related texts and inscriptions in digital formats.
