U+11933 "𑤳" Dives Akuru Vowel Sign U is a combining diacritical mark used in the Dives Akuru script, an ancient abugida historically employed to write the Divehi language in the Maldives. This character modifies a consonant by representing the vowel sound "u", and when applied, it alters the inherent vowel of a base consonant letter to produce the "u" sound within a syllable. It belongs to the Dives Akuru block of Unicode, which was encoded to support the digital preservation and scholarly study of this extinct script that was used in the Maldives before being replaced by the Thaana script.
