U+113BC "" Tulu-Tigalari Vowel Sign Uu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+113BC "" Tulu-Tigalari Vowel Sign Uu is a combining diacritical mark used in the Tulu-Tigalari script, a historical Brahmic writing system primarily employed to write the Tulu and Kannada languages in the southwestern region of India. This specific vowel sign indicates the long vowel "uu" sound, functioning as a dependent vowel that attaches to a consonant base to modify its inherent vowel into a prolonged /uː/ pronunciation. It is part of the recently encoded Tulu-Tigalari block in Unicode, which was added to support the digital documentation and preservation of the script for historical and linguistic research.
