𑘍
U+1160D "𑘍" Modi Letter Au is a specific character from the Modi script, an historical writing system used primarily to write the Marathi language during the era of the Maratha Empire from the 17th to the early 20th centuries. This character represents the vowel sound "au" as in the English word "caught" and is classed as a vowel letter used within the Modi script's alphasyllabary. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, including a single encoded form that handles both the independent and dependent vowel forms, ensures that digital text representing this script can be accurately stored, exchanged, and displayed while preserving its unique orthographic features for linguistic and historical documentation.
