U+1CE9 "ᳩ" Vedic Sign Anusvara Antargomukha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1CE9 "ᳩ" Vedic Sign Anusvara Antargomukha is a diacritical mark used in the Vedic Sanskrit tradition, specifically within the ancient phonetic annotations of the Samaveda and other sacred texts. It represents a variant of the anusvara, a nasalization symbol, with the modifier "antargomukha" meaning "inward-facing" or "turned inward," likely describing the shape or phonetic nuance of the articulation. This sign is part of the Vedic Extensions block and appears as a combining mark placed above or below a character to indicate a specific nasal sound, distinguished from other anusvara forms by its closed, inward-curving design. Its usage is rare and primarily found in scholarly manuscripts and digital representations of Vedic recitation, preserving precise oral traditions.
