The Wazur (transliterated: Wa zur, spoken roughly: Wasur) is a Tibetan character.

It has the shape of a small empty triangle with the point to the left (sometimes the vertical side of the triangle is slightly extended upwards) and is written under the right corner of some letters of the syllable initial. In the transliteration it is represented with an appended "w", because it originated from the letter w (ཝ). The Wazur has no influence on pronunciation, which is why it is often used to differentiate between homophones . The following combinations with a Wazur are possible in Tibetan orthography (in the order of the Tibetan alphabet): Kw, Khw, Gw, Cw, Nyw, Tw, Dw, Tsw, Zhw, Zw, Rw, Shw, Hw. Grw also occurs very rarely.

In Unicode , the correct form of the wazur is missing, instead there is a subscribed ordinary Tibetan w (ྭ).
