U+116B1 "𑚱" Takri Vowel Sign Uu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑚱
U+116B1 "𑚱" Takri Vowel Sign Uu is a combining diacritical mark used in the Takri script, an abugida historically employed to write languages like Dogri, Kangri, and Chamba in the Himalayan region of northern India. This specific vowel sign represents the long vowel sound "ū," similar to the "oo" in "boot," and it is placed below a consonant character to modify its inherent vowel sound. As part of the Takri script, which was actively used until the early 20th century before being largely replaced by Devanagari, this character helps preserve the phonetic and textual heritage of the regional languages it once recorded.
