U+0D60 "ൠ" Malayalam Letter Vocalic Rr Unicode Character

U+0D60 "ൠ" Malayalam Letter Vocalic Rr is a rarely used vowel sign in the Malayalam script, historically representing a long vocalic "rr" sound derived from Sanskrit phonology. It is part of the ancient Dravidian writing system adapted for Sanskrit loanwords, but in modern Malayalam, this character is considered archaic and has largely fallen out of common usage, replaced by simpler combinations of consonants and vowel signs. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures faithful representation of classical texts and linguistic scholarship, where it appears in transliterations of Vedic or grammatical works.
