U+113D0 "" Tulu-Tigalari Conjoiner Unicode Character
U+113D0 "" Tulu-Tigalari Conjoiner is a special formatting mark used in the Tulu-Tigalari script, an abugida historically employed to write the Tulu language in the Tulu Nadu region of southwestern India. Unlike standard letters, this character acts as a control character that modifies the shaping of adjacent consonant signs, specifically to create conjunct forms where two or more consonants are joined together into a single graphic unit without the inherent vowel sound. It is typically inserted between consonant characters to signal that they should be combined, similar to a virama but with distinct rendering behavior in the Tulu-Tigalari script. This conjoiner is essential for accurately representing complex consonant clusters in the orthography, ensuring proper typographic rendering and maintaining the script's traditional ligature-based writing system in digital text.
