U+0BD7 "ௗ" Tamil Au Length Mark is a combining diacritical mark used in the Tamil script to indicate a lengthened vowel sound, specifically the extended duration of the inherent "au" vowel that appears in certain phonetic contexts. It is distinct from the regular Tamil vowel markers and is primarily employed in precise transliteration or scholarly works to denote vowel length rather than being a standard part of everyday Tamil writing.
