Translingual

Letter

ါ

1. Alternative form of ာ (“Indic dependent vowel ā”)
2. Alternative form of ာ (“part of the conventional graphical decomposition of the Indic vowel o into component vowel marks.”)
3. Alternative form of ာ (“part of the conventional graphical decomposition of the Indic vowel au into component vowel marks.”)

Usage notes

In a few languages, notably S'gaw Karen, this is the only form used for the dependent vowel. Normally, it is used because a ligature of consonant and ာ would be hard to distinguish from yet another consonant.
