U+114B7 "𑒷" Tirhuta Vowel Sign Vocalic L Unicode Character

U+114B7 "𑒷" Tirhuta Vowel Sign Vocalic L is a combining diacritical mark used in the Tirhuta script, which historically writes the Maithili language primarily spoken in the Mithila region of India and Nepal. This vowel sign represents the vocalic L sound, a rare syllabic consonant distinct from a regular consonant plus vowel sequence, and it attaches to a base consonant character to modify its pronunciation, functioning similarly to other vowel signs in the Tirhuta abugida. Its inclusion in Unicode supports the accurate digital representation and preservation of Maithili texts and manuscripts.
