U+0ACC "ૌ" Gujarati Vowel Sign Au Unicode Character

U+0ACC "ૌ" Gujarati Vowel Sign Au is a combining diacritical mark used in the Gujarati script to represent the vowel sound "au," similar to the "ou" in the English word "house." It is visually rendered as a pair of small curved loops or strokes attached above and to the right of a consonant character, modifying its inherent vowel sound to this diphthong. This sign is an essential component of the Gujarati abugida, appearing in native vocabulary as well as in loanwords and transliterations, such as in the word "પૌરાણિક" (paurāṇik, meaning "mythological").
