U+16D6B "𖵫" Kirat Rai Sign Virama Unicode Character

U+16D6B "𖵫" Kirat Rai Sign Virama is a special mark used in the Kirat Rai script, which is employed to write languages such as Limbu and other Kirati languages of Nepal and northeastern India. This sign functions as a virama, also known as a halant, which serves to suppress the inherent vowel of a consonant letter, thereby creating a consonant cluster or a dead consonant without a following vowel sound. It is positioned after a consonant character to indicate that the vowel should not be pronounced, allowing for the accurate representation of syllabic structures in these languages.
