U+11081 "𑂁" Kaithi Sign Anusvara Unicode Character

U+11081 "𑂁" Kaithi Sign Anusvara is a diacritical mark used in the Kaithi script, historically employed for writing languages such as Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Maithili, and Urdu in northern India. This sign represents a nasalization of the preceding vowel or indicates a homorganic nasal consonant before a following consonant, similar to the anusvara in other Brahmic scripts. It is written as a dot above the character it modifies, and in Unicode it is classified as a nonspacing mark, meaning it combines with a base letter without taking up additional horizontal space. The Kaithi script itself is encoded in the Unicode Standard from U+11080 to U+110CF, and this specific character plays a crucial role in accurately representing nasalized sounds in the orthography.
