U+0F80 "ྀ" Tibetan Vowel Sign Reversed I Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+0F80 "ྀ" Tibetan Vowel Sign Reversed I is a combining diacritical mark used in the Tibetan script to denote a vowel sound that is distinct from the standard Tibetan vowel I, typically representing a reversed or retroflexed vowel quality in certain orthographic traditions. It is positioned above or attached to a consonant base character, modifying its pronunciation, and is part of the Tibetan block in Unicode, which supports the writing system for languages like Tibetan, Dzongkha, and related Himalayan languages. This sign is relatively rare in modern usage but appears in historical texts and specialized transliterations, where it helps preserve phonetic distinctions in older or scholarly renderings of Tibetan.
