U+0C63 "ౣ" Telugu Vowel Sign Vocalic Ll is a combining diacritical mark used in the Telugu script to represent the vocalic sound of a double l, a rare and highly specific phonetic element derived from Sanskrit phonology. This vowel sign modifies a preceding consonant by adding the sound akin to the English "l" but pronounced as a vowel, typically transcribed as "ḷ" with a macron to indicate length. It is part of a series of characters in the Telugu block that preserve ancient linguistic distinctions for scholarly and liturgical texts, though it has no modern practical usage and is considered obsolete in contemporary Telugu.
