U+119AC "𑦬" Nandinagari Letter O Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+119AC "𑦬" Nandinagari Letter O is a glyph representing the independent vowel O in the Nandinagari script, a historical Brahmic writing system primarily used in South India between the 7th and 19th centuries to write Sanskrit and occasionally Kannada or Marathi manuscripts. It is encoded in the Nandinagari block of the Unicode Standard, which was added in version 12.0 in 2019 to support the digitization of ancient texts and inscriptions. Visually, this character resembles a curved loop or open shape, distinct from the more common Devanagari O, and it appears as a standalone letter rather than a vowel sign attached to a consonant. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the cultural and linguistic heritage of premodern South Indian scribal traditions for modern digital use.
