𑼈
U+11F08 "𑼈" Kawi Letter U is a character from the Kawi script, an ancient abugida used historically across Maritime Southeast Asia to write languages such as Old Javanese, Balinese, and Sundanese. This specific glyph represents the vowel sound "u" and belongs to the Kawi block of Unicode, which was added in version 15.0 to support the digital encoding of this historical script. The Kawi script is the precursor to several modern scripts in the region, including Balinese and Javanese, and the inclusion of its letters in Unicode helps preserve and facilitate scholarly access to ancient manuscripts and inscriptions from the 8th to the 16th centuries.
