U+1135E "𑍞" Grantha Letter Vedic Anusvara is a special diacritic mark used in the Grantha script, which historically was employed in South India to write Sanskrit and related languages. It represents the Vedic anusvara, a nasalization symbol that appears in certain Vedic texts to indicate a specific phonetic nuance or prosodic feature, distinct from the standard anusvara used in later Sanskrit. This character is part of the Grantha block and is typically placed above or attached to a base consonant to modify its sound, aiding in the accurate recitation and preservation of ancient Vedic chants and mantras.
