0x94A

0x94A is the hexadecimal notation for the Unicode code point U+094A, which belongs to the Devanagari block. The code point is named DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN SHORT O and functions as a combining mark used in Devanagari scripts to indicate the short o vowel when attached to a consonant.

As a combining diacritic, 0x094A is not printable on its own. It modifies the inherent vowel of a consonant, allowing syllables to be formed in languages that use the Devanagari script, such as Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and Sanskrit. In written text, these vowel signs appear after or around the consonant to produce syllables like ko or go in various orthographic contexts.

In terms of encoding, 0x94A corresponds to the Unicode code point U+094A. In digital text, this character is represented within Unicode and can be encoded in UTF-8, UTF-16, or other Unicode encodings according to standard rules. It is typically rendered by appropriate Devanagari fonts and input methods that support combining marks.

Notes and context: Devanagari uses a set of dependent vowel signs that attach to consonants to indicate vowels other than the inherent a. The 0x94A sign specifically denotes the short o vowel and is used within the broader system of Devanagari orthography found in several South Asian languages.
