Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0AE0 "ૠ" Gujarati Letter Vocalic Rr is a rarely used vowel character in the Gujarati script, representing a long vocalic "rr" sound, akin to a prolonged retroflex approximant used in transcribing Sanskrit texts within Gujarati typography and literature. This character is part of the extended set of Gujarati vowel signs derived from ancient Brahmi, and it functions as an independent vowel letter, not as a diacritic attached to a consonant. Its usage is primarily historical or scholarly, as it does not occur in modern spoken Gujarati but appears in older manuscripts, religious chants, and phonetic renderings of Sanskrit loanwords.
