U+119A3 "𑦣" Nandinagari Letter Ii is a glyph representing the long vowel "ii" in the Nandinagari script, a historical Brahmic writing system that was used primarily in southern India between the 8th and 19th centuries for writing Sanskrit and other local languages. This character is part of the Nandinagari block, which was added to Unicode in version 12.0 released in 2019, helping scholars and digital typographers accurately render and preserve manuscripts and inscriptions from this script. As a distinct letter, it is used to transcribe the long "i" sound, differentiating words in a manner similar to the way the long vowel is represented in other Indic scripts like Devanagari.
