U+0B93 "ஓ" Tamil Letter Oo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0B93 "ஓ" Tamil Letter Oo is a vowel character used in the Tamil script, representing the long vowel sound "oo" as in the English word "boat" but with a pure, elongated quality. It is part of the Tamil Unicode block and serves as an independent vowel, meaning it is written on its own without attaching to a consonant, unlike vowel signs that modify consonants. This character is essential for writing many Tamil words and is distinct from its short vowel counterpart "ஒ" (U+0B92), reflecting the phonemic length contrast in Tamil.
