Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+11080 "𑂀" Kaithi Sign Candrabindu is a diacritical mark used in the Kaithi script, a historical writing system primarily employed for languages like Maithili, Bhojpuri, and Urdu in northern India. This character indicates nasalization of the vowel to which it is attached, functioning similarly to the candrabindu sign in other Brahmic scripts by modifying pronunciation to add a nasal quality. It is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the block for Kaithi, which was added to support the digital representation of this script, and its usage helps preserve the orthographic nuances of texts written in Kaithi, such as those found in medieval manuscripts and early printed documents.
