U+0C46 "ె" Telugu Vowel Sign E Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0C46 "ె" Telugu Vowel Sign E is a combining diacritical mark used in the Telugu script to represent the short vowel sound "e" when attached to a consonant base. It appears as a small hook-like symbol placed above the consonant character, modifying its inherent vowel sound from the default "a" to "e". This sign is classified as a spacing combining mark in Unicode, meaning it takes up a non-zero width in text layout and is essential for correctly writing Telugu words, such as in the word "కె" (ke). Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures consistent digital representation and processing of the Telugu language across modern computing platforms.
