U+1122F "𑈯" Khojki Vowel Sign U Unicode Character

U+1122F "𑈯" Khojki Vowel Sign U is a combining diacritical mark used in the Khojki script, primarily associated with the Sindhi language and the traditions of the Ismaili community. This vowel sign modifies a consonant by indicating a short 'u' sound, similar to the vowel inherent in the script's base form but marked explicitly when transcribed. It appears as a distinctive curved symbol placed above or attached to a consonant character, serving to clarify pronunciation and distinguish words in written texts. The Khojki script itself is historically significant for preserving religious and literary works, though it has largely fallen out of common use, making this character an important part of digital encoding efforts for historical and linguistic study.
