U+0F7B "ཻ" Tibetan Vowel Sign Ee Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ཻ
U+0F7B "ཻ" Tibetan Vowel Sign Ee is a combining diacritical mark used in the Tibetan script to modify a consonant, indicating a lengthened or modified "e" vowel sound, often transliterated as "ee" or "ē". This sign appears as a superscript hook or curl above a consonant stack and is part of the vowel system for transcribing Sanskrit loanwords in Tibetan Buddhist texts, where it distinguishes long vowel sounds from their shorter counterparts. In modern standard Tibetan, this vowel sign is less common but remains essential for accurate rendering of classical liturgical language and proper names in digital text processing.
