The Nonspacing Mark (NSM) bidi class is assigned to diacritical marks that do not occupy their own space but modify the preceding base character. NSMs are neutral in directionality but inherit the directionality of the base character they are attached to. They are essential for the accurate representation of characters with diacritics in bidirectional text.

Nonspacing Mark (Mn) refers to diacritical marks that do not occupy their own space but instead combine with a preceding base character to modify its sound or meaning. Nonspacing marks are essential in many scripts, including Latin, Arabic, and Devanagari, for accurate representation of text.

This character belongs to the Variation Selectors Supplement block. The Variation Selectors Supplement block contains additional characters used to modify the appearance of preceding characters. These selectors are used in specialized scripts and contexts where different glyph forms are required. This block is important for ensuring that text can be displayed correctly according to specific typographic and stylistic preferences, particularly in complex writing systems like Han and Mongolian..
