It is part of the Unicode block for Bengali, which covers the script for the Bengali language primarily spoken in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. The anji sign has a distinct visual form resembling a small curved stroke, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate representation of historical and specialized Bengali texts where this mark appears.
