U+1CE2 "" Vedic Sign Visarga Svarita is a diacritical mark used in the Vedic Sanskrit tradition to indicate a specific tonal or pitch accent over a visarga, which itself represents a voiceless breath-like sound. This sign appears in ancient Vedic texts, such as the Rigveda and Samaveda, where precise intonation and chanting rules are critical; it modifies the visarga to carry a svarita, or "sounding," accent, typically denoting a combination of a preceding high pitch and a following lower pitch. The character is part of the Vedic Extensions block of Unicode, aiding in the accurate digital preservation and rendering of these sacred scriptures.
