Unicode Version 17.0
ᬷ
U+1B37 "ᬷ" Balinese Vowel Sign Ulu Sari is a combining diacritic mark used in the Balinese script, a Brahmic abugida employed to write the Balinese language of Indonesia. This specific sign represents the long vowel sound /uː/ (similar to the "oo" in "moon") and is placed above the base consonant character to modify its inherent vowel, functioning as a dependent vowel sign that cannot stand alone. It is formed by adding a diacritical mark to the short vowel sign Ulu, visually distinguished by an extended top curve or additional stroke, and is essential for accurately representing the phonology and orthography of traditional Balinese texts, including religious and literary works.
