U+A806 "꠆" Syloti Nagri Sign Hasanta Unicode Character

U+A806 "꠆" Syloti Nagri Sign Hasanta is a virama or halant mark used in the Syloti Nagri script, which is primarily employed to write the Sylheti language spoken in parts of Bangladesh and northeastern India. This sign functions as a vowel killer, indicating the suppression of the inherent vowel of a consonant character, thereby enabling the formation of consonant clusters or conjuncts within the script. Its usage is analogous to the hasanta in other Brahmic scripts like Devanagari or Bengali, and it is placed below or attached to a consonant base to modify its phonetic output in written Sylheti.
