Unicode Version 17.0
𑍇
U+11347 "𑍇" Grantha Vowel Sign Ee is a combining diacritical mark used in the Grantha script, a historical Brahmic writing system traditionally employed in South India for writing Sanskrit, Tamil, and Manipravalam texts. This vowel sign modifies a consonant character to represent the long vowel sound "ee" (as in "seen"), and it is typically placed above or to the right of the base consonant letter. In modern digital contexts, Grantha script support is essential for accurate representation of classical manuscripts and religious literature, where this character helps differentiate between short and long vowel sounds in the script's syllabic system.
