U+0982 "ং" Bengali Sign Anusvara is a diacritical mark used in the Bengali script, as well as in related Assamese and other Brahmic scripts, to indicate a homorganic nasal sound or nasalization at the end of a syllable. When attached to a consonant or vowel, it represents a nasal consonant that absorbs the place of articulation of the following sound, often functioning as a substitute for the inherent vowel in a consonant cluster or at the end of a word. This character is visually distinctive as a small raised dot or circle above the baseline of the text and plays a critical role in the orthography of languages like Bengali, where it appears in common words such as "বাংলা" (Bangla) to denote the nasal sound.
