U+1182E "ð‘ ®" Dogra Vowel Sign Ii Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð‘ ®

U+1182E "ð‘ ®" Dogra Vowel Sign Ii is a combining diacritical mark used in the Dogra script, historically employed for writing the Dogri language in the Jammu region of India. This vowel sign modifies a consonant to indicate a long “ii” sound, equivalent to the vowel length distinction found in related Brahmic scripts. Visually, it appears as a curved stroke attached above or to the right of a consonant letter, and when applied, it alters the base character’s pronunciation without being an independent character itself. As part of the Dogra block added to Unicode in version 11.0, it helps preserve and digitally encode a script that has seen limited but culturally significant use in manuscripts and inscriptions.
