U+11C0A "ð‘°Š" Bhaiksuki Letter E Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð‘°Š

U+11C0A "ð‘°Š" Bhaiksuki Letter E is a glyph from the Bhaiksuki script, an ancient Brahmi-derived writing system historically used in parts of South Asia, particularly for writing Buddhist texts. This character represents the independent vowel sound "e," similar to the short "e" in the English word "bed." Bhaiksuki was primarily employed between the 7th and 11th centuries CE, with known inscriptions found in regions like present-day India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. The letter appears as a distinct, curved symbol with a diagonal line, reflecting the script's angular and calligraphic style. As part of the Unicode Standard since version 9.0 in 2016, it aids in preserving and digitally encoding this historic script for scholarly and linguistic purposes.
