U+0CE0 "ೠ" Kannada Letter Vocalic Rr Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ೠ
U+0CE0 "ೠ" Kannada Letter Vocalic Rr is a historical or highly specialized glyph used in the Kannada script to represent a long vocalic "r" sound, a feature inherited from Sanskrit phonology. This character is part of the Kannada block within the Unicode standard and is rarely encountered in modern Kannada writing, as the vocalic "r" sound it denotes is primarily found in classical Sanskrit texts and transliterations rather than in everyday Kannada usage. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that ancient and liturgical documents can be accurately represented in digital form, preserving the linguistic heritage of the Dravidian and Indic traditions.
