Unicode Version 17.0
ᮆ
U+1B86 "ᮆ" Sundanese Letter Ae is a specific glyph used in the modern Sundanese script, which is employed to write the Sundanese language primarily spoken in the West Java region of Indonesia. This character represents the vowel sound "ae," a distinct phoneme in Sundanese that is similar to the English vowel in "cat" but often produced as a diphthong or a long, open front vowel. The Sundanese script itself was revived in the late 20th century after a period of decline, and this letter forms part of its standard syllabary, used in educational materials, literature, and digital typography to accurately transcribe the language's unique sounds.
