Unicode Version 17.0
𑜥
U+11725 "𑜥" Ahom Vowel Sign Uu is a diacritical mark used in the Ahom script, which was historically employed to write the Ahom language in parts of present-day Assam, India. This vowel sign indicates the long "uu" sound and is placed above or attached to a consonant character to modify its pronunciation. As part of the Ahom block in Unicode, it helps preserve a key element of the script that was used for centuries in manuscripts and inscriptions before falling into disuse, though efforts exist to revive the language and its writing system.
