U+0CC7 "ೇ" Kannada Vowel Sign Ee Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ೇ
U+0CC7 "ೇ" Kannada Vowel Sign Ee is a combining diacritical mark used in the Kannada script to represent the long vowel sound "ee" that transforms a consonant's inherent vowel into a longer "eː" sound, as in the syllable "ಕೇ" (ke). Visually consisting of two curved strokes placed above and to the right of the base consonant, this sign is distinct from the short vowel sign "ೆ" (U+0CC6 Kannada Vowel Sign E) and is essential for accurately writing and pronouncing long vowels in Kannada, a Dravidian language primarily spoken in the Indian state of Karnataka.
