What 𑄂 means
It marks final aspiration: a breathy h after the syllable.
Read it with the syllable it follows. It is a combining Chakma spelling mark, and Chakma writing can use it alongside candrabindu or anusvara.
How old is the Chakma script?
Its lineage reaches back through several older scripts.
Chakma developed from the older Brahmi script family, through Pallava and Mon-Burmese scripts; one account traces that lineage from the 7th century onward.
The Chakma palm-leaf manuscripts known as Bijag have conflicting accounts of their early history.
Is 𑄂 part of Bengali writing?
No. This mark belongs to Chakma-script spelling.
Chakma can also be written in Bengali script, but this sign belongs to the Chakma spelling system.
In a 2026 account, the Chakma Autonomous District Council credits village medicine men with preserving the script through records of medicinal plants, herbs and roots. A 2025 community report describes Chakma script classes as efforts to preserve language and culture.
Technical and orthographic; it carries sound information, not a conversational mood.

2Why does 𑄂 show as a box?
The font or app may not include Chakma glyphs. In 2026, the Institute of Policy Dynamics says its Linux layout includes Noto Sans Chakma because Ubuntu's built-in Noto coverage misses some Chakma characters.
Is 𑄂 a colon?
No. A colon is independent punctuation; 𑄂 is a combining Chakma sign attached to a syllable.
