U+0996 Bengali Letter Kha

U+0996 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+0980 to U+09FF Bengali in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Other Letter and is mainly used in the Bengali script.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it is written from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+0996 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

The Bengali letter খ is derived from the Siddhaṃ , and is marked by the lack of a horizontal head line, unlike its Devanagari counterpart, ख. The inherent vowel of Bengali consonant letters is /ɔ/, so the bare letter খ will sometimes be transliterated as "kho" instead of "kha". Adding okar, the "o" vowel mark, খো, gives a reading of /kho/.
Like all Indic consonants, খ can be modified by marks to indicate another (or no) vowel than its inherent "a".
