U+11089 "𑂉" Kaithi Letter E Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑂉
U+11089 "𑂉" Kaithi Letter E is a vowel sign used in the Kaithi script, a historical abugida primarily employed to write languages such as Maithili, Bhojpuri, and Magahi in northern India. This character represents the independent vowel sound "e" and is distinct from its dependent vowel matra form that attaches to consonant letters. As part of the Kaithi block encoded in Unicode 5.2, it facilitates digital preservation and representation of historical documents, particularly legal and literary manuscripts from the medieval period. The letter's curved shape is characteristic of the Kaithi script's flowing, cursive style, which evolved from the Nagari family of scripts.
