U+11EF5 "ð‘»µ" Makasar Vowel Sign E Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘»µ
U+11EF5 "ð‘»µ" Makasar Vowel Sign E is a combining diacritical mark used in the Makasar script, a Brahmic-based writing system historically employed to write the Makassarese language of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This vowel sign is placed above or attached to a consonant character to represent the inherent vowel e, one of the distinct vocalic sounds in the language, and it appears as a small, curved mark resembling a crescent or a short stroke. The Makasar script was primarily used from the 17th to the 19th centuries for manuscripts on palm leaves, and this character plays a key role in accurately transcribing the phonetic structure of the Makassarese language, which UNESCO has recognized as an endangered script heritage.
