U+0D90 "ඐ" Sinhala Letter Iluuyanna Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+0D90 "ඐ" Sinhala Letter Iluuyanna is a distinctive vowel letter used in the Sinhala script to represent a historical or highly specific vocalic sound, typically a long vowel that has largely fallen out of common modern usage but remains part of the traditional orthographic system for rendering classical Pali and Sanskrit texts. This character is classified as a complex or secondary vowel letter, not a basic one, and it is visually characterized by a curved tail attached to the standard vowel shape, distinguishing it from similar letters like Iluuyanna's shorter counterpart. While rarely encountered in contemporary Sinhala writing, it serves an important scholarly function, allowing accurate transliteration and preservation of ancient linguistic forms in religious and academic contexts.
