Source: Browser Default
U+0B90 "ஐ" Tamil Letter Ai is a distinct vowel character in the Tamil script, representing the diphthong sound /ai/ as in the English word "eye." It is classified as an independent vowel, meaning it can be written on its own at the beginning of a syllable or word, rather than as a diacritical mark attached to a consonant. This character is used in many common Tamil words, such as "ஐந்து" (five) and "ஐயா" (sir or father), and it holds cultural significance as it often appears in classical poetry and modern writing, including the names of deities and honorific terms.
