U+11609 "𑘉" Modi Letter Vocalic Ll Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑘉
U+11609 "𑘉" Modi Letter Vocalic Ll is a glyph from the Modi script, which was historically used to write the Marathi language in western India. This specific character represents a rare, syllabic vowel sound similar to a lengthened or vocalized "ll" that functions as a vowel in linguistic contexts, primarily appearing in transliterations of Sanskrit texts. The Modi script itself was developed as a cursive, efficient alternative to the Devanagari script for administrative and commercial purposes, and this letter preserves an archaic phonetic element that shows the script’s capacity to denote complex vocalic sounds, though it is seldom encountered in modern usage.
