Special character <g ref="#vedic-sign-ardhavisarga"/>

[chakrabortydeepro]

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.

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!

[chakrabortydeepro]

All right! No worries.

Does not seem to be distinguished by ISO 15919:2001

[miloush]

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

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

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