U+1BFF "᯿" Batak Symbol Bindu Pangolat is a punctuation mark used in the Batak script, which is traditionally employed to write several Batak languages in Indonesia. This symbol functions as a virama, also known as a killer stroke, to suppress the inherent vowel of a consonant letter, creating a consonant cluster or final consonant sound without a following vowel. It appears as a small, dot like diacritic or separate sign, depending on the style and context, and is placed after the consonant character to indicate that its vowel component is removed. As the final character in the Batak Unicode block, it completes the script's inventory of symbols essential for accurate representation of Batak text.
