Unicode Version 17.0
U+11390 "" Tulu-Tigalari Letter Oo is a grapheme representing the vowel sound "oo" (often transliterated as ū) in the Tulu-Tigalari script, historically used in southwestern India, primarily by the Tulu-speaking population of coastal Karnataka and parts of Kerala. This character is part of the broader Tulu-Tigalari block in Unicode, which was added to digitally preserve and support the script for modern computing. The letter Oo is distinct in form and function within the script's syllabic system, where it is used in writing Tulu, a Dravidian language, as well as in certain ritual and literary contexts for other regional languages like Kannada and Sanskrit. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that texts using this ancient and culturally significant script can be accurately encoded, displayed, and transmitted across digital platforms, aiding in the revitalization and study of Tulu heritage.
