U+A953 "꥓" Rejang Virama Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꥓
U+A953 "꥓" Rejang Virama is a combining mark used in the Rejang script, an abugida historically employed to write the Rejang language of Sumatra, Indonesia. Its primary function is to suppress the inherent vowel of a consonant letter, allowing for the representation of consonant clusters or word-final consonants within the script. Visually, it appears as a short horizontal stroke attached below the base consonant, and it operates similarly to the virama found in other Brahmic scripts.
