Unicode Version 17.0
ཹ
U+0F79 "ཹ" Tibetan Vowel Sign Vocalic Ll is a combining diacritical mark used in the Tibetan script to modify a consonant by adding a vocalic 'l' sound, specifically representing a long vocalic lateral approximant in certain transliteration systems or phonetic contexts. It appears as a small, raised symbol attached above or to the right of a base consonant, and it is part of a set of vowel signs that facilitate the accurate representation of Sanskrit and other Indic sounds in Tibetan writing, particularly in religious or scholarly texts. This character is distinct from the standard Tibetan vowel signs and is rarely used in everyday Tibetan language, being primarily reserved for specialized orthographic or liturgical purposes.
