ᱽ
U+1C7D "ᱽ" Ol Chiki Ahad is a diacritical mark used in the Ol Chiki script, which was created to write the Santali language spoken by the Santal people of India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. This character represents the "ahad" sign, which indicates a glottal stop or serves as a vowel length marker, modifying the sound of a syllable rather than being an independent letter. Found in the Ol Chiki block of Unicode, it is essential for accurately representing Santali phonetics, helping to capture subtle distinctions in pronunciation that are crucial for proper written communication in the language.
