U+1AE6 "᫦" Combining Double Arch Below Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1AE6 "᫦" Combining Double Arch Below is a combining diacritical mark belonging to the Myanmar Extended-A block, designed to be placed beneath a base character to modify its pronunciation. It appears as a small double arch shape positioned below the letter, typically used in the transcription of certain minority languages spoken in Myanmar, such as Palaung or Tai Laing, to denote a specific tone or vowel quality. Because it is a combining character, it does not occur in isolation but must be attached to a preceding character to function correctly in digital text.
