Unicode Version 17.0
𑂆
U+11086 "𑂆" Kaithi Letter Ii is a glyph representing the long vowel "ii" in the Kaithi script, a historical writing system primarily used for languages like Angika, Bhojpuri, Maithili, and Urdu in northern India from the 16th to the 20th centuries. This character falls within the Kaithi block of the Unicode Standard, specifically designed to encode the script's distinct syllabic inventory, where it functions as an independent vowel letter rather than a vowel sign attached to a consonant. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital text can accurately represent the phonetics of Kaithi documents, aiding in the preservation and revival of this endangered script for modern computational use.
