VEDIC SIGN ATIKRAMA is a spacing combining mark (positive advance width) from the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of VEDIC SIGN ATIKRAMA 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.

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 Vedic Extensions block. The Vedic Extensions block contains additional diacritical marks used in the transcription of Vedic Sanskrit, an ancient language of the Indian subcontinent. Vedic Sanskrit is the language of the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism. The block includes marks used to indicate the pitch and other nuances of Vedic chanting, which are crucial for the correct pronunciation and recitation of these texts. These extensions are essential for scholars and practitioners who study and preserve the oral traditions of Vedic literature, ensuring the accuracy of their transmission..
