Indic Matra Category - Visual Order Left

Unicode Version 18.0

Visual Order Left is a classification used for certain vowel signs in Indic scripts, indicating that the mark is placed to the left of the consonant it modifies, even though the consonant is typically written first in logical order. This value applies to characters like the Bengali and Oriya vowel signs for “o,” which visually appear before their base consonant in rendered text. In such cases, the sign must be reordered during shaping and layout, so that it is drawn to the left while its logical position remains after the consonant, ensuring correct visual representation and reading order.
