Unicode Version 17.0
𑆶
U+111B6 "𑆶" Sharada Vowel Sign U is a combining diacritical mark used in the Sharada script, an abugida historically employed to write the Kashmiri and Sanskrit languages primarily in the Kashmir region of South Asia. This specific vowel sign modifies a consonant character by adding the long 'u' vowel sound, effectively changing the inherent vowel of the base consonant from /a/ to /uː/. It is placed after the consonant it modifies and is part of the Unicode Sharada block, which was added to the standard to preserve and digitally represent this ancient writing system.
