U+094C "ौ" Devanagari Vowel Sign Au is a combining diacritical mark used in the Devanagari script to represent the vowel sound "au" as in the English word "caught" or "loud". It is placed above and to the right of a consonant character, modifying its inherent "a" sound to the longer, diphthongal "au" pronunciation. This vowel sign is a fundamental part of the Devanagari orthography for languages such as Hindi, Sanskrit, and Marathi, where it appears in common words like "नौ" (nau, meaning "boat") and "मौन" (maun, meaning "silence").
