Unicode Version 17.0
𑍣
U+11363 "𑍣" Grantha Vowel Sign Vocalic Ll is a combining diacritical mark used in the Grantha script, an ancient writing system primarily employed for writing Sanskrit and other classical languages in South India and Sri Lanka. This specific vowel sign represents a vocalic form of the consonant "l" that is pronounced like a vowel, similar to the sound found in the Sanskrit vocalic "ḷ" as seen in the Devanagari script. It is applied as a modifier to a base consonant character to alter its inherent vowel sound, and its inclusion in the Unicode Standard facilitates the accurate digital representation and preservation of historical and liturgical texts written in the Grantha script.
