Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1920 "ᤠ" Limbu Vowel Sign A is a combining diacritical mark used in the Limbu script, which is native to the Limbu people of Nepal, Bhutan, and northeastern India. This vowel sign modifies a preceding consonant character to represent the vowel sound "a" by attaching to it as a dependent glyph, typically appearing above and to the left of the base consonant in written text. It is part of the Limbu block in Unicode, encoded to facilitate digital representation and preservation of the Limbu language, which uses an abugida writing system where inherent vowels are altered by such signs. The character contributes to accurately rendering Limbu orthography in modern computing and communication contexts.
