U+09CB "ো" Bengali Vowel Sign O is a combining diacritical mark used in the Bengali script to represent the vowel sound "o," as in the word "bōlā" (to speak). It is typically positioned above and to the left of the consonant letter it modifies, forming a distinctive cursive shape that connects with the base character. This vowel sign is a key component of the Bengali abugida, where consonants carry an inherent vowel sound that can be altered or silenced by such diacritics.
