U+0B82 "ஂ" Tamil Sign Anusvara Unicode Character

U+0B82 "ஂ" Tamil Sign Anusvara is a diacritical mark used in the Tamil script to indicate an anusvara, a type of nasalization that modifies the preceding consonant or vowel. It appears as a small raised dot or circle above the line of text, historically representing a homorganic nasal sound (like "n" or "m") borrowed primarily from Sanskrit-influenced vocabulary in Tamil. In modern usage, the Tamil Sign Anusvara is less common than in other Brahmic scripts, but it still appears in certain loanwords, religious texts, and scholastic contexts to preserve etymological spellings.
