Unicode Version 17.0
ॷ
U+0977 "ॷ" Devanagari Letter Uue is a rare and specialized vowel character used in the Devanagari script to represent a distinctive long vowel sound in specific transliteration systems, primarily for transcribing ancient Vedic or other Sanskrit texts. It is classified as a vowel letter and typically appears in scholarly or liturgical contexts where precise phonetic representation is necessary, often corresponding to an extended or drawn-out "u" sound. This character is not commonly found in modern standard Hindi or other contemporary Devanagari-based languages, making its usage largely confined to linguistic studies, religious chanting, and academic publications that require accurate notation of historical or dialectal phonetics.
