Unicode Version 17.0
ૡ
U+0AE1 "ૡ" Gujarati Letter Vocalic Ll is a rarely used vowel character in the Gujarati script, representing a vocalic form of the lateral approximant sound, similar to a syllabic "ll" that functions as a vowel in certain linguistic contexts, primarily in transliterations of Sanskrit texts or in scholarly phonetic transcriptions. It is part of the extended Gujarati vowel set, complementing the more common vocalic letters like ૠ (Vocalic R) and ઌ (Vocalic L), and is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Gujarati block at code point U+0AE1, though it has no practical usage in modern Gujarati language writing, appearing almost exclusively in historical or liturgical Sanskrit-derived words.
