In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantramṃkī (हुंकारी) refers to one of the nine attendants of Goddess Tvaritā, according to the Agnipurāṇa, the ղԳٰᲹ verse 14.15-16 and the Kulakaulinīmata verse 3.82-88.—Accordingly, “[...] ṃkī (She who makes the sound Hu�) has a club and is black. 8) Kṣemakārī (Forgiving One) is fierce at first (but then becomes gracious). She is naked, has three eyes and three nets (貹ñᲹ). She rises up holding the earth and is intent (dzٲԳī) on devouring the universe. 9) Pheṭkārī holds a bow. She is Kaulikā and is placed in the middle. [...]�.
Note: These nine attendants (e.g., ṃkī) embody the syllables of Tvaritā’s Vidyā that are the initials of their names. The same nine are listed in the ղԳٰᲹ as the attendants of Tvaritā. They are worshipped on the eight petals of a lotus as the energies of the letters of Tvaritā’s mantra (Գٰṇaśپ).

Shakta (शाक्�, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: academia.edu: A Critical Sanskrit Edition and a Translation of Kambala’s Sādhananidhi, Chapter 8ūṃkī (हूंकारी) is the name of a Deity associated with the syllable “hūṃ� of the ٱīṛdⲹԳٰ (Goddess� heart mantra): one of the four major mantras in the Cakrasaṃvara tradition, as taught in the eighth chapter of the 9th-century Herukābhidhāna and its commentary, the Sādhananidhi. The thirteen letters constituting the mantra are transformed in meditation into thirteen deities. All these female deities [viz., ūṃkī] have their male consorts who resemble their consort female deities in appearance and are in sexual union with them.

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (Բ) are collected indepently.
