Unicode Version 17.0
𑎉
U+11389 "𑎉" Tulu-Tigalari Letter Vocalic Ll is a specific grapheme used in the Tulu-Tigalari script, which historically served to write the Tulu language in the southern Indian region of Tulu Nadu, particularly in palm-leaf manuscripts. This character represents a vocalic form of the consonant "Ll," functioning as a syllabic vowel akin to the concept of a long 'l' sound without a following inherent vowel, similar to vocalic consonants found in other Brahmic scripts. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard supports the digital preservation and study of Tulu-Tigalari texts, which are of significant cultural and linguistic importance for understanding the history of Dravidian languages and writing systems.
