U+11603 "𑘃" Modi Letter Ii Unicode Character

U+11603 "𑘃" Modi Letter Ii is a character from the Modi script, historically used to write the Marathi language in the region of Maharashtra, India, particularly during the 17th to 20th centuries. This specific character represents the long vowel "ii" (transcribed as ī), functioning as the second vowel in the Modi abugida and appearing primarily in historical documents, manuscripts, and inscriptions such as those from the Maratha Empire. Its inclusion in Unicode since version 7.0 enables digital preservation and rendering of this writing system, which is now largely replaced by the Devanagari script for modern Marathi.
