U+113CE "" Tulu-Tigalari Sign Virama Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+113CE "" Tulu-Tigalari Sign Virama is a combining mark used in the Tulu-Tigalari script to remove the inherent vowel from a consonant, creating a conjunct or dead consonant form. This virama functions similarly to the halant in other Brahmic scripts, indicating that the consonant it follows should not be pronounced with its default vowel. It is applied after a consonant character to signify that the consonant is bare or joined with the following consonant. The inclusion of this sign in Unicode supports the encoding of the Tulu-Tigalari script for the Tulu language spoken in southwestern India.
