U+11380 "ð‘Ž€" Tulu-Tigalari Letter A Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘Ž€
U+11380 "ð‘Ž€" Tulu-Tigalari Letter A is a representation of the first vowel in the Tulu-Tigalari script, an ancient abugida historically used to write the Tulu language in the coastal region of Karnataka and Kerala, India. This character corresponds to the inherent vowel sound /a/ that typically accompanies a consonant unless modified by other vowel signs. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard as part of the Tulu-Tigalari block, added in version 16.0 in 2024, helps preserve and digitally encode a script that has primarily survived in religious manuscripts and inscriptions. The letter itself has a distinct cursive form, descending slightly below the baseline, characteristic of the script's rounded and flowing aesthetic.
