U+11726 "𑜦" Ahom Vowel Sign E Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑜦

U+11726 "𑜦" Ahom Vowel Sign E is a combining diacritic mark used in the Ahom script, an ancient Brahmi-derived writing system historically employed to write the Ahom language of the Tai-Ahom people in the Assam region of northeastern India. This specific vowel sign represents the vowel sound "e" and is placed above or attached to a consonant character to modify its inherent vowel. The Ahom script was primarily used in manuscripts detailing chronicles, religious texts, and legal records, and it fell out of common use after the eighteenth century before undergoing revival efforts in modern times. This character was added to the Unicode Standard in version 11.0, released in June 2018, as part of the Ahom block, which helps preserve and digitally represent this historically significant writing system.
