Unicode Version 17.0
𑽀
U+11F40 "𑽀" Kawi Vowel Sign Eu is a combining diacritical mark used in the Kawi script, an ancient writing system from Southeast Asia that was employed to write Old Javanese, Balinese, and related languages. This vowel sign represents the sound "eu" (a mid central vowel, similar to the "uh" in "but" but with lip rounding) and is placed after a consonant character to modify its inherent vowel, changing it to the specific "eu" pronunciation. As part of the Kawi block in Unicode, this character supports the digital preservation and scholarly study of historical texts, inscriptions, and manuscripts from the region, reflecting a crucial element of the script's phonetic inventory.
