Unicode Version 17.0
ᢅ
U+1885 "ᢅ" Mongolian Letter Ali Gali Baluda is a specialized character within the Mongolian script block, originally designed for transliterating Sanskrit, Tibetan, and other foreign texts into written Mongolian. It represents a diacritical mark that modifies the pronunciation of the base letter it attaches to, typically indicating a lengthened or altered vowel sound. This character is part of the Ali Gali script variant, which was historically used in Buddhist contexts to accurately represent the phonetic nuances of sacred languages during translation. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital text can preserve the orthographic precision required for scholarly and liturgical works that rely on this traditional writing system.
