U+11D68 "𑵨" Gunjala Gondi Letter Ai Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑵨

U+11D68 "𑵨" Gunjala Gondi Letter Ai is a glyph representing a vowel sound in the Gunjala Gondi script, an abugida historically used by the Gondi people in central India to write their Dravidian language. This character encodes the specific vowel "Ai," which is part of the script's inventory of syllables and vowel symbols that are crucial for accurately representing Gondi phonetics. It was added to the Unicode Standard in version 10.0, released in 2017, as part of a deliberate effort to preserve and digitally support the endangered Gunjala Gondi writing system, which is distinct from other Gondi scripts and faces challenges of limited modern use. The letter visually combines a base consonant shape with a diacritic to denote the "Ai" sound, contributing to the rich orthographic diversity encoded in Unicode.
