Unicode Version 17.0
ᢂ
U+1882 "ᢂ" Mongolian Letter Ali Gali Damaru is a specialized glyph used in the Mongolian script to represent a transliteration symbol from the Ali Gali script, an extended set of characters designed primarily for writing Sanskrit and Tibetan terms in Mongolian Buddhist texts. It specifically denotes the sound or syllable "damaru," referencing the double-headed drum associated with the tantric deity Cakrasamvara, and its function is philological rather than orthographic, serving as a phonetic indicator within scholarly or religious manuscripts rather than appearing in everyday Mongolian writing.
