Overview
Candrabindu means moon-dot, and the mark is named for its shape: a crescent surmounted by a point. In Sinhala it indicates nasalisation of the vowel it accompanies. U+0D81 is classified Mn (mark, nonspacing), so it contributes no advance width and is positioned above the base character by the rendering engine rather than by any stored coordinates. The Sinhala script is used for the Sinhala language of Sri Lanka and, in an extended form, for Pali and Sanskrit liturgical texts. Its rounded letterforms reflect a history of writing on palm leaves, where straight cuts would split the surface.
