U+113B9 "𑎹" Tulu-Tigalari Vowel Sign I Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑎹
U+113B9 "𑎹" Tulu-Tigalari Vowel Sign I is a combining diacritical mark used in the Tulu-Tigalari script, an abugida historically employed for writing the Tulu language in coastal Karnataka and Kerala, India. This vowel sign is attached to a consonant base character to indicate that the inherent vowel 'a' is replaced by the long vowel 'i'. It represents a dependent vowel, meaning it cannot stand alone but modifies the pronunciation of a preceding consonant, appearing as a distinct mark positioned after or above the consonant symbol. Its inclusion in Unicode supports the digital preservation and representation of the Tulu language and its cultural heritage.
