What ၕ means
It marks long vocalic L in Pali and Sanskrit written in Myanmar script. Here, L itself is the syllable’s vowel-like center.
Myanmar writing grew from a South Indian script related to Brahmi, an ancient script, adopted to write Mon around the eighth century; its earliest inscription dates to the eleventh century. A traditional explanation links its rounded shapes to writing on palm leaves without tearing them.
Specialist Pali and Sanskrit spelling in the extended Myanmar repertoire.
