U+11589 "π" Siddham Letter Vocalic Ll Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
π
U+11589 "π" Siddham Letter Vocalic Ll is a glyph from the Siddham script, a historical abugida used primarily in East Asia for writing Sanskrit texts, especially in Buddhist contexts. This specific character represents a vocalic or syllabic form of the letter "Ll," denoting a vowel sound that functions as a syllable nucleus, akin to the vocalic 'l' found in Sanskrit (as in the word "kαΉta" but with a long l sound). It is part of a set of rare vocalic letters in Siddham that mimic the phonetic inventory of Sanskrit, and its use is largely confined to liturgical manuscripts, mandalas, and esoteric Buddhist inscriptions, where it appears in mantras or transliterations of sacred terms.
