GURMUKHI EK ONKAR is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of GURMUKHI EK ONKAR 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. This includes most alphabetic characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that are typically written in this direction. The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

Other Letter (Lo) refers to letters that do not fit into the uppercase, lowercase, titlecase, or modifier letter categories. These include letters from scripts that do not have case distinction, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and others. This category is also used for syllabic and ideographic characters that function as letters.

This character belongs to the Gurmukhi block. The Gurmukhi block contains characters used in the Gurmukhi script, which is primarily used for writing the Punjabi language, especially in the Indian state of Punjab. The script was standardized in the 16th century by Guru Angad, the second Sikh Guru. Gurmukhi is also an abugida, with each consonant carrying an inherent vowel sound that can be altered by diacritics. This block includes all the necessary characters for writing modern Punjabi, as well as several additional characters for transcribing Sanskrit and other languages. The script is also used in Sikh religious texts, most notably the Guru Granth Sahib..
