U+11A84 "𑪄" Soyombo Sign Jihvamuliya Unicode Character

U+11A84 "𑪄" Soyombo Sign Jihvamuliya is a combining mark used in the Soyombo script, which was created in the 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Bogd Zanabazar to write Mongolian, Tibetan, and Sanskrit. This specific sign represents the Jihvamuliya, a phonetic diacritic that indicates a voiceless velar fricative sound, often used in transliterating Sanskrit texts into the Soyombo alphabet. It appears as a small crescent-like symbol placed above or attached to a consonant, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the script for historical and linguistic documentation, though the Soyombo script is rare today and primarily of interest to scholars of Mongolian Buddhism and paleography.
