U+11B06 "𑬆" Devanagari Sign Western Five-like Bhale Unicode Character

U+11B06 "𑬆" Devanagari Sign Western Five-like Bhale is a recently encoded diacritical mark used in the Devanagari script to represent a nasalization tone in certain dialects of the Western Pahari languages, particularly in the region of Himachal Pradesh, India. Its name derives from its visual resemblance to the digit five in Western-style numeral shapes, and it is placed above a character to modify its pronunciation, signifying a specific phonetic nuance within the orthography. This character was added to Unicode as part of the Devanagari Extended-A block to support the written form of languages like Mandeali and Kullui, aiding in the accurate documentation and digital preservation of these minority languages.
