饝开
U+11FEA "饝开" Tamil Current Sign is a symbol used in the Tamil language and script to represent the concept of "current" as in electrical current or currency flow, rather than a letter or vowel modifier. It was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Tamil Supplement block, which includes historical and specialized signs for Tamil writing. This sign is distinct from standard Tamil characters and serves a specific numeric or symbolic function, often appearing in documents or inscriptions related to finance, trade, or modern technical contexts. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and accurately represent Tamil textual traditions in digital environments.
