Respected Pal Ji, thanks for elaborating meaning and significance of this symbol. I suggest following changes :1. As given in the logo of Global Sikh Council, we can see that oorha is open with extending line. Let us all of us try to follow a uniform pattern. This is a unique Symbol given by or Guru Saheb.
2. Secondly, we should follow the pronunciation as given in Guru Granth Saheb. Following Gurbani lines will make it clear about pronunciation –

ਮਨੁ ਭੂਲੋ ਸਿਰਿ ਆਵੈ ਭਾਰੁ ॥
ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨੈ ਹਰਿ ਏਕੰਕਾਰੁ ॥੨॥<!–/data/user/0/com.samsung.android.app.notes/files/clipdata/clipdata_bodytext_231123_090840_530.sdocx–><hr />

ਨਾਨਾ ਰੂਪ ਨਾਨਾ ਜਾ ਕੇ ਰੰਗ ॥
ਨਾਨਾ ਭੇਖ ਕਰਹਿ ਇਕ ਰੰਗ ॥
ਨਾਨਾ ਬਿਧਿ ਕੀਨੋ ਬਿਸਥਾਰੁ ॥
ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ ਏਕੰਕਾਰੁ ॥<!–/data/user/0/com.samsung.android.app.notes/files/clipdata/clipdata_bodytext_231123_091614_286.sdocx–>In my view we must follow one pattern for writing as well as pronunciation as given to us by our great Guru Saheb.
