Unicode Version 17.0
ಉ
U+0C89 "ಉ" Kannada Letter U is the third vowel in the Kannada script, representing the sound /u/ as in the English word "put." Found primarily in the Kannada language spoken in the Indian state of Karnataka, this character serves as a fundamental building block for forming syllables and words in the Brahmic writing system. Its distinct curved shape, with an open top and a slight loop at the bottom left, distinguishes it from other Kannada vowels, and it can stand alone or combine with consonants to modify their inherent vowel sound.
