U+ABE6 "ꯦ" Meetei Mayek Vowel Sign Yenap Unicode Character

U+ABE6 "ꯦ" Meetei Mayek Vowel Sign Yenap is a combining vowel diacritic used in the Meetei Mayek script, which is the official writing system for the Meitei language (also known as Manipuri), spoken primarily in the Indian state of Manipur. Visually represented as a small, open curve placed above a consonant letter, this sign modifies the inherent vowel of that consonant to produce the sound of the short vowel "e," as in the English word "bed." It forms an essential part of the orthography for accurately representing the phonetic structure of the Meitei language, allowing for the distinction between words that would otherwise rely solely on the default vowel sound.
