U+1884 "ᢄ" Mongolian Letter Ali Gali Inverted Ubadama Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1884 "ᢄ" Mongolian Letter Ali Gali Inverted Ubadama is a rarely used glyph from the Mongolian block, specifically part of the Ali Gali script employed for writing Tibetan and Sanskrit loanwords in Mongolian texts. This character represents an inverted form of the Ubadama diacritic, which modifies consonant sounds when transliterating foreign phonemes, and its unique shape resembles a small reversed comma or hook positioned above or attached to a base letter. Historically, it was utilized in Buddhist religious manuscripts and scholarly works to accurately represent non Mongolian sounds, but it is seldom found in modern typography or everyday communication.
