U+1C28 "ᰨ" Lepcha Vowel Sign O Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᰨ
U+1C28 "ᰨ" Lepcha Vowel Sign O is a combining diacritical mark used in the Lepcha script, which is native to the Lepcha people of Sikkim, India, and parts of Nepal and Bhutan. This character attaches to a consonant letter to indicate the vowel sound "o," typically representing a mid back rounded vowel. It is part of the Lepcha Unicode block and is visually rendered as a small, curved or looped sign positioned above or to the side of the base consonant, depending on the font and typographic conventions. The Lepcha script is an abugida, meaning this vowel sign modifies an inherent vowel, and its correct usage is essential for writing the Lepcha language accurately.
