U+11437 "𑐷" Newa Vowel Sign Ii Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑐷
U+11437 "𑐷" Newa Vowel Sign Ii is a combining diacritical mark used in the Newa (also known as Newar or Nepal Bhasa) script, primarily employed to write the Newar language of Nepal. This specific vowel sign represents the long vowel sound "ii" and is placed below a consonant character to modify its inherent vowel, producing a prolonged "ee" sound in pronunciation. As part of the Newa block, which was added to Unicode in version 9.0 (2016), this character supports the preservation and digital representation of the historically significant script used in manuscripts and inscriptions from the Kathmandu Valley.
