U+0C03 "ః" Telugu Sign Visarga Unicode Character

U+0C03 "ః" Telugu Sign Visarga is a diacritical mark used in the Telugu script, primarily representing a voiceless glottal fricative sound similar to a soft "h" that occurs at the end of words or during sandhi (sound merging) in Sanskrit-derived vocabulary. It is written as a small circle with a dot above, placed after a consonant or vowel to modify pronunciation, and it plays a key role in transliterating Sanskrit texts into Telugu, where it often corresponds to the visarga mark in Devanagari. While less common in everyday spoken Telugu, this character remains important in classical literature, religious chants, and formal linguistic contexts for accurately preserving traditional phonetic nuances.
