U+A9BF "ꦿ" Javanese Consonant Sign Cakra is a combining diacritical mark used in the Javanese script to modify a base consonant by adding an inherent vowel change, specifically representing the sound "ra" as a dependent form rather than an independent consonant. It is visually applied above or near the consonant it follows, functioning similarly to a ligature or vowel sign in Javanese orthography to indicate a consonant cluster or syllabic shift. This character is part of the Javanese block in Unicode and is essential for accurately writing traditional Javanese texts, including historical manuscripts and modern digital communication in the language.
