U+1881 "ᢁ" Mongolian Letter Ali Gali Visarga One Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1881 "ᢁ" Mongolian Letter Ali Gali Visarga One is a specific glyph used in the Mongolian script to represent a visarga, which is a diacritical mark indicating a voiceless breath or a pause following a vowel, often transliterated as an "h" sound. This character belongs to the Ali Gali set, a collection of supplementary Mongolian letters created to transcribe sounds from the classical Indian language Sanskrit, primarily within Buddhist texts and liturgical works. As a "visarga one," it is a variant designed to denote a particular type of visarga found in such transliterations, distinct from other visarga symbols in the Unicode standard. Its inclusion in the standard allows for precise digital representation of Mongolian literary and religious documents that require these specialized phonetic markings.
