U+0974 "ॴ" Devanagari Letter Ooe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ॴ
U+0974 "ॴ" Devanagari Letter Ooe is a rarely used character in the Devanagari script, primarily employed for transcribing the distinct vowel sound found in the Kashmiri language, where it represents a close back rounded vowel that differs from the standard Devanagari vowel "O". It is part of the Devanagari Extended block of the Unicode standard, which was added to accommodate the phonetic requirements of languages like Kashmiri and other regional languages of South Asia that use the Devanagari script. This character helps ensure accurate written representation of specific vowel sounds that are not covered by the more common Devanagari vowel letters.
