The bidi class of BRAHMI SIGN VISARGA is Left-to-Right (Strong). It belongs to the strong left-to-right characters..

The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right.

The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

Spacing Mark (Mc) refers to marks that typically appear as separate characters in writing. Unlike nonspacing marks, spacing marks take up space in the text and may affect the placement of surrounding characters. They are often used in scripts like Devanagari to indicate vowel sounds.

This character belongs to the Brahmi block. The Brahmi block contains characters used in the Brahmi script, one of the oldest writing systems of South Asia, which is the ancestor of most modern scripts in India and Southeast Asia.

This block includes characters for consonants, vowels, and various diacritics, providing essential support for the study of ancient Indian texts and inscriptions..
