U+1182C "ð‘ ¬" Dogra Vowel Sign Aa Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð‘ ¬

U+1182C "ð‘ ¬" Dogra Vowel Sign Aa is a combining diacritical mark used in the Dogra script, a Brahmi-derived writing system historically employed for the Dogri language in the Jammu and Kashmir region of India. This specific vowel sign modifies a consonant by adding a long "aa" sound, similar to the vowel sign for the same sound in other Indic scripts like Devanagari. In the Dogra block, U+1182C is typically placed to the right of the consonant it modifies and is part of the script's inventory of dependent vowel marks, which are essential for accurately representing the phonetics of Dogri. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard helps preserve and digitally encode the Dogra script, supporting modern text processing and cultural heritage documentation for a language that is now written primarily in Devanagari.
