U+1C7C "ᱼ" Ol Chiki Phaarkaa Unicode Character

U+1C7C "ᱼ" Ol Chiki Phaarkaa is a diacritic mark used in the Ol Chiki script, which was created in the early 20th century by Pandit Raghunath Murmu for writing the Santali language, spoken primarily in eastern India. This specific character, known as Phaarkaa, functions as a nasalization sign, modifying the pronunciation of a vowel by adding a nasal quality to it, similar to the tilde in some other writing systems. It appears as a small, wavy line placed above or alongside a vowel character, and its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital text and online content in Santali can be accurately processed and displayed across modern devices and platforms.
