U+115BC "𑖼" Siddham Sign Candrabindu Unicode Character

U+115BC "𑖼" Siddham Sign Candrabindu is a diacritical mark used in the Siddham script, an ancient abugida primarily employed for writing Sanskrit and Buddhist texts in East Asia, especially within Japanese esoteric Buddhist traditions. This sign represents a nasalization or an anusvara-like sound, specifically indicating a nasalized vowel or a homorganic nasal, and it visually combines a dot (bindu) with a crescent (chandra) shape, often written above or attached to a consonant character. In transliteration, it corresponds to a nasalized pronunciation, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally encode the intricate phonetic details of Siddham manuscript traditions.
