Unicode Version 17.0
𑆼
U+111BC "𑆼" Sharada Vowel Sign E is a combining diacritical mark used in the Sharada script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically employed for writing Sanskrit, Kashmiri, and other languages in the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent. This vowel sign modifies a consonant letter to indicate the vowel sound “e,” functioning as a dependent vowel mark rather than an independent character. It is positioned to the left of the consonant it attaches to, reflecting the script’s unique orthographic conventions, and it plays a crucial role in accurately representing the phonetic structure of the languages once written in the Sharada script.
