U+A826 "ꠦ" Syloti Nagri Vowel Sign E Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꠦ
U+A826 "ꠦ" Syloti Nagri Vowel Sign E is a combining diacritic used in the Syloti Nagri script, primarily employed to write the Sylheti language spoken in the northeastern region of Bangladesh and parts of Assam, India. This dependent vowel sign modifies a consonant by attaching itself to the consonant letter, representing the vowel sound /e/ as in the English word "bet." Unlike independent vowel letters, this sign cannot stand alone and must be placed above or attached to its base consonant character to form a complete syllable. It is part of the Syloti Nagri block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in version 4.1 in 2005 to preserve and digitally represent this endangered script.
