U+1038 "း" Myanmar Sign Visarga Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1038 "း" Myanmar Sign Visarga is a diacritical mark used in the Myanmar (Burmese) script, representing a visarga, which in Sanskrit and Pali contexts indicates a voiceless breathy release after a vowel, typically transliterated as "ḥ." In the Myanmar writing system, it appears as a pair of dots placed after a character and modifies pronunciation by adding a final, aspirated "h" sound, similar to a soft exhalation. This sign is integral to writing loanwords from Pali and Sanskrit in Burmese, where it denotes a specific phonetic nuance not found in native Burmese words, and it is encoded in Unicode as part of the Myanmar block to support accurate digital representation of the script.
