Unicode Version 17.0
𑼅
U+11F05 "𑼅" Kawi Letter Aa is a character in the Kawi script block, encoded to represent the long vowel "Aa" in the historical Kawi writing system used across Maritime Southeast Asia, particularly in inscriptions from Java, Bali, and Sumatra between the 8th and 16th centuries. This character is part of the effort to digitally preserve and support the Kawi script, which is an abugida derived from the Brahmi script and serves as a precursor to modern scripts like Javanese and Balinese. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for accurate digital representation of ancient texts, aiding linguistic research and the revitalization of this important cultural heritage.
