Unicode Version 17.0
ᬁ
U+1B01 "ᬁ" Balinese Sign Ulu Candra is a diacritical mark used in the Balinese script, specifically functioning as an independent vowel sign that represents the sound /u:/, or a long "u" sound. It is also known as "Ulu Candra," which translates to "moon top" due to its appearance as a crescent-shaped mark placed above a base character. This character is part of the Balinese block in Unicode, which supports the writing system of the Balinese language spoken on the Indonesian island of Bali. In practice, it modifies the inherent vowel of a consonant, allowing for accurate representation of long vowels in written Balinese texts.
