U+0901 "ँ" Devanagari Sign Candrabindu Unicode Character

U+0901 "ँ" Devanagari Sign Candrabindu is a diacritical mark used in the Devanagari script to indicate nasalization of a vowel, specifically representing a nasal sound that is often described as a "moon dot" due to its crescent shape with a dot above. It is placed above a character, such as in the combination "कँ" to modify the pronunciation, and is distinct from the anusvara, though both involve nasalization. In Sanskrit and Hindi, the candrabindu typically denotes a nasalized vowel or a more precise nasal articulation, and it appears in words like "हँस" for "laugh" or "मँझधार" for "midstream," where it alters the vowel sound to be pronounced through the nose.
