U+11C0B "ð‘°‹" Bhaiksuki Letter Ai Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11C0B "ð‘°‹" Bhaiksuki Letter Ai is a specific glyph within the Bhaiksuki script, a historical Brahmic abugida used primarily in the eastern regions of India during the 11th and 12th centuries CE to write Buddhist texts, particularly in manuscripts from the Pala and Sena dynasties. This character represents the independent vowel sound "ai," akin to the long vowel in the English word "aisle," functioning as a standalone letter rather than a conjunct or diacritic. It is part of the Unicode block titled Bhaiksuki, which was added to the standard in version 9.0 released in 2016, enabling digital preservation and study of this ancient script. The shape of "ð‘°‹" displays the typical angular yet cursive features of Bhaiksuki, with a distinctive curved top and vertical stem that differentiate it from other Brahmic vowel letters.
