Unicode Version 17.0

ð‘ ±

U+11831 "ð‘ ±" Dogra Vowel Sign Vocalic R is a combining diacritical mark used in the Dogra script, which was historically employed to write the Dogri language in the Jammu region of northern India. This vowel sign represents a vocalic 'r' sound, specifically a syllabic 'r' vowel, and is attached to a consonant base character to modify its pronunciation by adding that inherent vowel quality. It belongs to the Dogra block of the Unicode Standard, which encodes characters for this Brahmi-derived script that has seen revived scholarly interest. As a combining mark, the sign takes a distinct form when placed above or below the consonant, depending on the script's orthographic rules, and it is essential for accurately representing certain Sanskrit-derived words and native Dogri lexical items in digital text.
