U+111CF "𑇏" Sharada Sign Inverted Candrabindu is a diacritical mark used in the Sharada script, an ancient writing system primarily employed for the Kashmiri and Sanskrit languages in the Kashmir region. This sign is placed above a character to indicate a specific type of nasalization, distinct from the standard candrabindu (U+111CE) by its inverted orientation. It serves to modify vowel sounds, ensuring precise pronunciation in liturgical and literary texts. The inverted candrabindu is a rare and specialized grapheme, preserved in manuscript traditions to maintain phonetic accuracy, and its inclusion in Unicode supports the digital representation of historical and contemporary Sharada inscriptions.
