Unicode Version 17.0
ᰲ
U+1C32 "ᰲ" Lepcha Consonant Sign R is a combining diacritical mark used in the Lepcha script, which is traditionally employed to write the Lepcha language of Sikkim, India, and parts of Nepal. This sign specifically modifies a base consonant to indicate an inherent "r" sound, functioning as a conjunct or subjoined form that alters pronunciation in syllabic contexts. It is part of the Lepcha block of Unicode, where it serves as a crucial element for accurately representing the language's phonology, particularly in cases where the consonant is followed by a rhotic glide.
