U+11F0E "𑼎" Kawi Letter E Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11F0E "𑼎" Kawi Letter E is a vowel sign from the Kawi script, an ancient writing system used historically across Maritime Southeast Asia to write Old Javanese, Sanskrit, and other regional languages. Specifically, this character represents the independent vowel "E," which produces a sound similar to the 'e' in the English word "bed" or the short 'e' in "pet." It belongs to the Kawi block of the Unicode Standard, encoded to support scholarly work and digital preservation of historical texts from regions like modern-day Indonesia and Malaysia. Unlike vowel diacritics that attach to consonants in the Kawi script, this letter stands alone to indicate a word-initial vowel, reflecting the script's abugida structure where inherent vowels are modified by dependent signs but independent vowels have distinct glyphs.
