Nukta

The Nukta (Arabic نقطة nuqta, DMG nuqṭa, point ') is a diacritical mark of the Indian scriptures. The Nukta in appearance is in most Indic scripts a point which is positioned below the consonants.

The Nukta serves in the Indian scriptures for extending the alphabet to other characters, like the diacritical characters of the Latin alphabet. These characters can either be relevant to a particular language, or spelling of foreign words ( mostly from the Urdu or English ) can be used. Characters with Nukta be treated separately in the ISO 15919 transliteration.
