This article is about Chandrabindu, the character in several Brahmi derived scripts. For the Bangla band by the same name, see Chandrabindu_(band).

Chandrabindu (alternatively spelled candrabindu, chandravindu or candravindu; meaning "moon-dot" in Sanskrit) is a diacritic sign having the form of a dot inside the lower half of a circle. It is also called anunaasika and is used in the Devanagari (ँ), Bengali (ঁ), Gujarati (ઁ), Oriya (ଁ) and Telugu (ఁ) scripts. It usually means that the previous vowel is nasalized. It is represented in Unicode as U+0901 in Devanagari, U+0981 in Bengali, U+0A81 in Gujarati, U+0B01 in Oriya, and U+0C01 in Telugu.
