𑚯
U+116AF "𑚯" Takri Vowel Sign Ii is a combining diacritical mark used in the Takri script, an abugida historically employed to write several languages of the Himalayan region, such as Dogri, Kangri, and Chamba. This specific character represents the long vowel sound "ii" and is placed after a consonant character to modify its inherent vowel, creating a phonetic syllable that distinguishes longer vowel lengths in these languages. As part of the Takri block in Unicode, it helps preserve the digital representation of this endangered script, supporting linguistic and cultural heritage documentation.
