Unicode Version 17.0
େ
U+0B47 "େ" Oriya Vowel Sign E is a combining diacritical mark used in the Odia script, primarily employed to write the Odia language of eastern India. It represents the vowel sound [eː] and is placed to the left of the consonant it modifies, rather than to the right like many other vowel signs, and it typically combines with a base consonant character, such as "କ" (ka), to form a new syllable like "କେ" (ke). This character is part of the Unicode Standard's Oriya block, encoded at position U+0B47, and it is essential for accurate orthographic representation and digital text processing of Odia, ensuring proper rendering and reading in modern computing environments.
