U+11002 "𑀂" Brahmi Sign Visarga Unicode Character

U+11002 "𑀂" Brahmi Sign Visarga is a diacritical mark used in the ancient Brahmi script to represent the visarga, a phonetic feature that appears as a voiceless breath or a final aspirate sound, typically transcribed as "ḥ" in modern transliteration. This character is part of the Brahmi block in Unicode and was encoded to support the accurate digital representation of historical inscriptions and manuscripts that used the Brahmi writing system, which is the ancestor of many South Asian scripts. The sign itself is a specific glyph placed after a consonant or vowel symbol to indicate this extra breathy release, playing a crucial role in faithfully rendering the phonological structure of early Indic languages like Sanskrit and Prakrit.
