Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘‚…
U+11085 "ð‘‚…" Kaithi Letter I is a glyph from the Kaithi script, an abugida historically used to write languages such as Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Magahi, and Maithili in northern India. This specific character represents the short vowel sound "i," akin to the English "i" in "sit," and is part of a writing system that was widely employed for administrative, legal, and literary documents from the 16th to the 20th centuries before being largely replaced by Devanagari. The Kaithi script features distinctive cursive forms, and the vowel "i" is typically written as an independent symbol at the beginning of a word or syllable, or as a diacritical mark attached to a consonant.
