Source: Browser Default
U+0B03 "ଃ" Oriya Sign Visarga is a diacritical mark used in the Oriya script to represent the visarga, a phonetic feature that indicates a voiceless breathy sound or a final aspiration after a vowel, similar to its counterpart in other Brahmic scripts like Devanagari. It appears as a double dot following a vowel or consonant, modifying the pronunciation by adding a subtle exhale at the end of the syllable. This character is essential for correctly writing and vocalizing Sanskrit-derived words in the Oriya language, where it often marks the end of a word or a pause in formal recitation.
