U+11583 "ð‘–ƒ" Siddham Letter Ii Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘–ƒ
U+11583 "ð‘–ƒ" Siddham Letter Ii is a glyph from the Siddham script, a historical abugida used primarily for writing Sanskrit in Buddhist contexts across East Asia, especially in Japan, where it remains prevalent for esoteric texts and calligraphy. This particular character represents the long vowel "ii," a distinct sound in the Sanskrit phonetic system, and is composed of a base consonant sign with a specific diacritic marking its length. In Siddham manuscripts and temple inscriptions, such letters were meticulously drawn to preserve the sacred chants and mantras, and today they are encoded in Unicode to allow digital preservation and modern typographic rendering of this ancient script.
