Source: Browser Default
U+0DDA "ේ" Sinhala Vowel Sign Diga Kombuva is a combining diacritical mark used in the Sinhala script to indicate a long vowel sound, specifically modifying the inherent vowel of a consonant to produce a prolonged 'eː' sound, as in the pronunciation of the first syllable of the word "kēle" meaning forest. It appears as a horizontal line above the consonant glyph and operates as part of a complex system of vowel signs in Sinhala orthography, where it must be combined with a base consonant character to form a complete syllable.
