0x0F61

0x0F61 refers to the Unicode code point U+0F61 in the Tibetan block. The character is named TIBETAN VOWEL SIGN VOCALIC R and is categorized as a combining diacritic used in Tibetan script. As a vowel sign, it does not stand alone but attaches to a base Tibetan consonant to modify its inherent vowel.

In Tibetan orthography, vowel signs modify the pronunciation of consonants in a syllable. The vowel sign vocalic R is one of several signs that indicate a specific vowel quality when combined with a consonant, often contributing to syllables that include an r-colored vowel sound. These signs are typically written after the consonant and can affect the syllable's reading without introducing a separate letter.

From a technical standpoint, U+0F61 is a non-spacing combining mark (category Mn) in Unicode. It is part of the Tibetan script block, which encompasses the letters, diacritics, and punctuation used to write the Tibetan language. Like other vowel signs in the block, it relies on a base consonant for its visual representation and phonetic value. Proper rendering depends on font support and shaping behavior in the text layout system.

Related code points in the same area include other Tibetan vowel signs, which together with consonants form the syllabic blocks used in Tibetan manuscripts and contemporary writing. The Tibetan block itself is defined in the Unicode standard and has been widely supported since early Unicode releases, with ongoing updates to font and rendering technologies to support correct display of combining marks such as U+0F61.
