Categorized technically as a Lowercase Letter, this character typically falls under the Common script. In terms of text layout and rendering, the glyph is Unknown and has no designated width in East Asian typography. When placed in bidirectional text, it behaves as an Left-To-Right character. Its visual representation remains not mirrored regardless of the reading direction.
