U+11F0A "๐‘ผŠ" Kawi Letter Vocalic R Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

๐‘ผŠ

U+11F0A "๐‘ผŠ" Kawi Letter Vocalic R is a glyph representing a syllable voiced as a vocalic "r" sound, used in the historical Kawi script that was employed across maritime Southeast Asia, particularly in Java, Bali, and Sumatra, to write Old Javanese, Sanskrit, and other regional languages. This character belongs to the Kawi block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to support the digital encoding of this ancient abugida that flourished from the 8th to the 16th century. The vocalic R is distinct from a consonant R and functions as a vowel in its own right, typically transliterated as "แน›" in academic texts, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitize classical inscriptions and manuscripts that form a crucial part of Southeast Asian cultural heritage.
