U+0DB8 "ම" Sinhala Letter Mayanna Unicode Character

U+0DB8 "ම" Sinhala Letter Mayanna is the sixteenth letter of the Sinhala script, representing the voiced bilabial nasal sound /m/, akin to the English 'm' in "mother." In the Sinhala abugida, this consonant carries an inherent vowel /a/ unless modified by a vowel diacritic, and it is commonly used in forming words such as "මම" (mama, meaning "I") and "මල" (mala, meaning "garland"). This character is a fundamental component of the Sinhala writing system, which is the official script of Sri Lanka's Sinhalese language, and it traces its origins to the ancient Brahmi script through the Grantha lineage.
