U+119DD "𑧝" Nandinagari Vowel Sign Au Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑧝

U+119DD "𑧝" Nandinagari Vowel Sign Au is a combining diacritical mark used in the Nandinagari script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically employed in southern India to write Sanskrit, Kannada, and other languages. This vowel sign represents the "au" sound and is typically attached to a consonant base character to modify its inherent vowel, much like other vowel signs in Brahmic scripts. It appears as a distinct stroke above or attached to the consonant, and its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital representations of historical texts and scholarly works can be accurately encoded and preserved. As part of the Nandinagari block (U+119A0 to U+119D7), it supports the growing need for digital typography and text processing of South Asian palaeographic materials.
