U+0A81 "ઁ" Gujarati Sign Candrabindu Unicode Character

U+0A81 "ઁ" Gujarati Sign Candrabindu is a diacritical mark used in the Gujarati script to indicate the nasalization of a vowel, often corresponding to the anusvara or a nasal sound in the transliteration of Sanskrit and other languages. It appears as a small crescent with a dot above it, typically placed above a consonant or vowel character to modify its pronunciation. In the Gujarati writing system, the candrabindu is distinct from the anusvara, as it specifically denotes a more subtle nasalization, and it is an essential component for accurately representing certain loanwords and scholarly texts.
