Unicode Version 17.0

𑍡

U+11361 "𑍡" Grantha Letter Vocalic Ll is a script specific grapheme from the Grantha script, an ancient abugida historically used in South India and Sri Lanka for writing Sanskrit and classical Tamil texts. This character represents a vocalic or syllabic consonant sound that functions as a vowel, specifically the long form of the vocalic /l̩/ sound (as in the Sanskrit vocalic 'll'). It is part of a set of rare Grantha letters used to transcribe Sanskrit phonological features not present in the native Dravidian scripts, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Grantha block, enabling digital representation and preservation of this historic writing system in modern computing environments.
