U+0A82 "ં" Gujarati Sign Anusvara Unicode Character

U+0A82 "ં" Gujarati Sign Anusvara is a diacritical mark used in the Gujarati script to represent a nasalization of the preceding vowel or consonant, functioning similarly to the anusvara in other Brahmic scripts. It appears as a small dot or circle placed above the character it modifies, and it is distinct from the chandrabindu, which also indicates nasalization but with a different form and phonetic context. In the standard Unicode encoding, this character is classified under the Gujarati block and is essential for correctly writing many common Gujarati words, such as those borrowed from Sanskrit or preserving nasalized sounds.
