U+11FEE "𑿮" Tamil in Possession Sign Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑿮

U+11FEE "𑿮" Tamil in Possession Sign is a specialized grapheme used in the Tamil script to denote possession or ownership, typically functioning as a suffix or abbreviation in written Tamil to indicate the genitive case. It belongs to the Tamil Supplement block of Unicode, having been added to support historical and modern textual needs where a compact or traditional symbol for possession is required. The sign resembles a stylized diacritic or ligature, often appearing in manuscripts, legal documents, or typographic contexts to replace the longer word “உடைய” or the possessive suffix “-இன்” without altering pronunciation. By standardizing this character, Unicode ensures that Tamil writers can accurately represent this grammatical function in digital text, preserving linguistic precision and cultural orthography in electronic communication.
