What 𐴟 means
𐴟 is the written U vowel in Hanifi Rohingya. It normally follows a consonant; at the beginning of a word, the carrier 𐴀 comes before it.
Mohammad Hanif and colleagues developed the modern script in the 1980s as a writing system tailored to Rohingya. It follows Arabic’s right-to-left direction and takes visual cues from Arabic, but it is a constructed script for Rohingya.
Hanifi Rohingya appears in books, newspapers, websites, and teaching materials. By 2023, teachers were also using WhatsApp-linked lessons in refugee education.
Is Hanifi Rohingya Arabic?
No. Hanifi Rohingya is a separate script for Rohingya. Arabic influence explains its right-to-left direction and some visual choices, not its ancestry. Rohingya has also been written in Arabic-based spellings, Latin-based Rohingyalish, and Myanmar script.
In ordinary Hanifi Rohingya writing, 𐴟 belongs inside a word.
Alone, it reads like a sample or input test, not a complete word.
