U+11190 "𑆐" Sharada Letter Au Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11190 "𑆐" Sharada Letter Au is a vowel character used in the Sharada script, an ancient writing system primarily employed for writing the Kashmiri and Sanskrit languages in the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent, particularly in Kashmir and surrounding areas. This letter represents the diphthong sound "au" and forms a part of the script's vowel inventory, which appears alongside consonants within its abugida structure where vowels are typically diacritically marked but also have independent forms like this one. The Sharada script has historical significance for its role in inscribing texts on copper plates and manuscripts, and this character is encoded in the Unicode standard to support digital text processing, linguistic research, and preservation of the script's cultural heritage. Its inclusion helps enable modern electronic communication and archival for the languages that rely on the Sharada orthography.
