U+1CD2 "᳒" Vedic Tone Prenkha is a combining mark used in the Vedic Sanskrit tradition to indicate a specific tonal accent or melodic rise and fall in the recitation of the Samaveda and related texts. This diacritical sign is placed above or adjacent to a syllable to denote the prenkha or "swing" tone, a musical ornament that requires the voice to glide smoothly between two notes in a swinging motion. As part of the Vedic extensions block, it assists scholars and practitioners in preserving the precise oral performance of ancient hymns, where intonation is critical for meaning and ritual efficacy.
