Source: Browser Default
U+0960 "ॠ" Devanagari Letter Vocalic Rr is a script symbol used in the Devanagari writing system to represent a long vocalic r sound, a unique type of vowel inherent to Sanskrit and occasionally found in other languages like Hindi and Marathi. Unlike regular consonants, this character functions as a syllable-forming vowel, typically transliterated as "ṝ" in Romanized scripts, and it appears in ancient and scholarly texts to accurately transcribe Vedic and classical Sanskrit phonetics. Its design resembles the Devanagari letter ऋ but with an added diacritic-like horizontal bar to indicate its lengthened pronunciation.
