Unicode Version 17.0
ૄ
U+0AC4 "ૄ" Gujarati Vowel Sign Vocalic Rr is a diacritical mark used in the Gujarati script to represent a long vocalic "rr" sound, a vowel that is pronounced with a rolling or trilled quality. It is a combining character, meaning it attaches to a consonant base letter to modify its inherent vowel, specifically indicating the lengthened version of the short vocalic "r" sound found in Sanskrit and some Gujarati words. This symbol appears as a small loop or curve above and to the right of the consonant, and its use helps distinguish meaning in scholarly, liturgical, or transliterated texts where precise phonetic representation of ancient or borrowed terms is important.
