Hanifi Rohingya Vowel O

34/50

The short o vowel in Hanifi Rohingya is marked by 𐴡, usually after a consonant; at a word’s start, it follows the carrier 𐴀. Hanifi is a modern alphabet for Rohingya, with Arabic influence in its overall form and Latin and Myanmar influence in some letter shapes. Without a supporting font, the sign may show as a box.

Text symbol

What 𐴡 means

It marks the short o vowel.

In a Hanifi Rohingya syllable, 𐴡 normally follows a consonant, as in 𐴁𐴡. By itself it is a vowel sign, not a complete syllable.

At a word’s beginning, the carrier 𐴀 comes first: 𐴀𐴡. The mark 𐴢 adds nasalization; 𐴣, 𐴤 and 𐴥 add tone patterns and can mark stress or vowel length.

Why was Hanifi Rohingya created?

It is a modern alphabet developed for writing Rohingya.

The Rohingya Language Committee developed it under Maulana Mohammed Hanif in the 1980s. A signed script chart reproduced in a Unicode proposal is dated 19 February 1980.

Rohingya has also been written in Arabic-script traditions, including Urdu, and with Latin and Myanmar scripts. Hanifi’s overall form and structure show Arabic influence, while some letter shapes show Latin and Myanmar influence; 𐴡 itself is a Hanifi Rohingya vowel sign.

Why does 𐴡 show as a box?

The active font has no glyph for this sign.

If 𐴡 appears as a box, the font being used does not provide its Hanifi Rohingya glyph. The text can still be valid; select a font that supports the script.

This is a spelling sign, not a stand-alone conversational message; alone, it is usually only part of a word.

Alone, 𐴡 is a vowel fragment, not a complete Rohingya message.
