Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0B4D "୍" Oriya Sign Virama is a combining diacritical mark used in the Odia (Oriya) script to suppress the inherent vowel of a consonant, thereby creating a conjunct consonant or a consonant cluster. It is placed below the consonant it modifies, signaling the absence of the default "a" sound and enabling the ligation of consonants within a word. This virama is a crucial element of the Brahmic writing system employed for the Odia language, allowing for accurate phonetic representation in complex syllables.
