U+0976 "ॶ" Devanagari Letter Ue Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ॶ
U+0976 "ॶ" Devanagari Letter Ue is a vowel symbol used primarily in the Sanskrit and Ardhamagadhi Prakrit representation of the Jain and Hindu religious traditions, where it denotes a specific vowel sound that is a combination of the vowels "u" and "e." This character is part of the Devanagari block in Unicode, which supports the writing systems of many languages in the Indian subcontinent, and it was added to accommodate the phonetic requirements of certain liturgical and scholarly texts. Its appearance resembles a standard Devanagari letter with a distinctive diacritic-like extension, and it is rarely encountered in modern everyday usage, being largely confined to academic, historical, or religious contexts.
