U+0947 "े" Devanagari Vowel Sign E Unicode Character

U+0947 "े" Devanagari Vowel Sign E is a combining diacritical mark used in the Devanagari script to represent the vowel sound /eː/ as a dependent sign, meaning it modifies the inherent vowel of a consonant character to which it is attached, appearing as a short leftward hook above the consonant symbol. This character is distinct from the independent vowel letter for the same sound and is essential for accurately writing a wide range of words in languages such as Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi, and Nepali, where it visually alters the consonant’s glyph without being a standalone letter.
