Hello Charles,

Could you please add this character to Saktumiva:

Unicode Character “ᳲ” (U+1CF2) <g ref="#vedic-sign-ardhavisarga"/>

Is there a common transliteration for this character? It seems to exist in multiple scripts, so it would be nice to be able to transliterate it as with the jihvāmūliya.

chakrabortydeepro commented 5 months ago

The problem with jihvāmūlīya is that the ardhavisarga sign can represent both jihvāmūlīya and upadhmānīya. There is already a Unicode character for the jihvāmūlīya (U+1CF5). So, there won't be any way to distinguish the ardhavisarga (U+1CF2) from the jihvāmūlīya (U+1CF5). How about using a different symbol, such as

ẖka = ᳵक ẖ_ka = ᳲक

or something similar?

Still thinking about this!

All right! No worries.

Does not seem to be distinguished by ISO 15919:2001

If this is added, 1CF2 and 1CF3 should be distinguished I guess...

Deepro, do you have any idea what the rotated ardhavisarga is for?

chakrabortydeepro commented 4 months ago

Please check Shriramana Sharma's proposal: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2009/09343-rotated-ardhavisarga.pdf
