U+11460 "ð‘‘ " Newa Sign Jihvamuliya Unicode Character
U+11460 "ð‘‘ " Newa Sign Jihvamuliya is a diacritical mark used in the Newa script, which is historically employed to write the Nepal Bhasa language. This sign specifically represents the sound of a retroflex or similar consonant and functions as an inherent vowel killer or a consonant modifier, akin to a virama in other Brahmic scripts, indicating the suppression of the default inherent vowel. Unlike the standard halant sign in the Newa block, the Jihvamuliya is a distinct glyph used in certain traditional orthographic contexts, particularly in older or more formal manuscripts, to denote a specific phonetic nuance. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the accurate representation of the historical and liturgical texts of the Newar people in the Kathmandu Valley.
