ꠥ
U+A825 "ꠥ" Syloti Nagri Vowel Sign U is a combining diacritical mark used in the Syloti Nagri script, which is primarily employed for writing the Sylheti language spoken in the Sylhet region of Bangladesh and parts of northeastern India. This vowel sign, when attached to a consonant character, represents the short /u/ sound, modifying the inherent vowel of the consonant to create a specific phonetic syllable. It is positioned as a dependent glyph beneath the base consonant letter, distinguishing Syloti Nagri from other Brahmic scripts where vowel signs often appear above or to the side.
