U+1CE8 "᳨" Vedic Sign Visarga Anudatta with Tail Unicode Character

U+1CE8 "᳨" Vedic Sign Visarga Anudatta with Tail is a diacritical mark used in the ancient Indian script tradition for writing Vedic Sanskrit, specifically within the Devanagari block. It combines the visarga (a voiceless breath sound often represented as "ḥ") with an anudātta accent mark and a distinctive tail, indicating a low-pitched or unaccented pronunciation in the recitation of Vedic hymns. This sign is part of a system of phonetic and tonal annotations that help preserve the precise oral transmission of sacred texts like the Rigveda, where pitch and breath control are essential for correct chanting.
