U+111B3 "𑆳" Sharada Vowel Sign Aa is a combining diacritical mark used in the Sharada script, an abugida historically employed for writing Sanskrit and Kashmiri in the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent. This vowel sign represents the long vowel sound "ā" and is placed after a consonant character to modify its inherent vowel, changing it from a short "a" to a longer "ā". It is encoded in the Sharada block of Unicode, which was added to support the digital preservation and typing of this ancient script, and it is visually rendered as a curved stroke attached to the base consonant.
