U+1B04 "ᬄ" Balinese Sign Bisah Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1B04 "ᬄ" Balinese Sign Bisah is a diacritical mark used in the Balinese script, an abugida employed to write the Balinese language spoken on the Indonesian island of Bali. This sign functions as a virama or killer stroke, serving to suppress the inherent vowel of a consonant, thereby creating a final consonant or consonant cluster without a following vowel sound. In Balinese writing, it visually modifies the base character by attaching a specific mark, indicating that the consonant is pronounced in its pure, vowelless form.
