What 𑣈 means
It writes the E vowel inside a Ho word.
Ho has also been written in Latin, Devanagari, and Odia. In the mid-20th century, Lako Bodra promoted Warang Citi as Ho cultural work, presenting it as a recovered tradition.
Descent from Brahmi or Latin remains debated; resemblance alone proves nothing. Some Ho writers choose Warang Citi to express identity; others use Latin, Devanagari, or Odia. A 2021 report described a community keyboard that enabled Warang Citi chats on WhatsApp.
