U+112B5 "𑊵" Khudawadi Letter Uu Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑊵

U+112B5 "𑊵" Khudawadi Letter Uu is a character from the Khudawadi script, an abugida historically used for writing the Sindhi language in parts of India and Pakistan, though it has largely been replaced by the Perso-Arabic script. This specific letter represents the vowel sound "u" as in "put" and belongs to a small, isolated Unicode block (U+112B0 to U+112FF) that was added in version 7.0 to support the script’s preservation for scholarly and cultural purposes. Its glyph resembles a curved, open shape, consistent with the distinctive angular style of Khudawadi writing, which evolved from the Brahmi family of scripts. As a rarely used character, its inclusion in modern digital systems aids in the documentation and revitalization of this endangered writing system.
