U+11235 "𑈵" Khojki Sign Virama Unicode Character

U+11235 "𑈵" Khojki Sign Virama is a combining diacritical mark used in the Khojki script, an abugida historically employed by the Ismaili community to write Sindhi, Gujarati, and other languages. This sign, when placed below a consonant character, explicitly indicates the suppression of the inherent vowel that normally follows that consonant, effectively creating a conjunct or a dead consonant. By removing the default vowel, the virama allows for the accurate representation of consonant clusters and syllable-final consonants, which are essential for correctly writing words in languages using the Khojki script. Its function is analogous to the halant or virama marks found in other Brahmic writing systems, serving as a critical tool for precise orthography in this historical script.
