U+1B44 "᭄" Balinese Adeg Adeg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
᭄
U+1B44 "᭄" Balinese Adeg Adeg is a combining virama or killer stroke in the Balinese script, used to suppress the inherent vowel of a preceding consonant, effectively creating a consonant cluster or a final consonant without a vowel sound. It visually appears as a small, often slightly curved mark positioned above or to the right of the base character, and its function is essential for accurately writing both native Balinese words and borrowings from other languages, such as Sanskrit and Old Javanese, that feature conjunct consonants or silenced endings.
