Unicode Version 17.0
饝案
U+11C38 "饝案" Bhaiksuki Vowel Sign E is a combining diacritical mark used in the Bhaiksuki script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically employed to write Buddhist texts, particularly in regions of what is now India and Nepal. This vowel sign represents the long vowel sound "e" and is attached to a consonant base character to modify its inherent vowel, typically appearing as a distinct mark placed to the left or above the consonant depending on the specific script conventions. It is encoded in the Unicode Bhaiksuki block, which was added to the standard in 2014 to support the digital preservation of this historical script, allowing for accurate representation of its unique orthographic features in modern computing environments.
