U+11D33 "𑴳" Masaram Gondi Vowel Sign Ii Unicode Character

U+11D33 "𑴳" Masaram Gondi Vowel Sign Ii is a combining diacritical mark used in the Masaram Gondi script, which was specifically designed in the early 20th century for writing the Gondi language spoken by the Gond people of central India. This vowel sign is placed above or attached to a consonant character to indicate the long vowel sound "ii," equivalent to a lengthened "i" as in the English word "machine." It forms part of the Masaram Gondi block within Unicode, which was added in version 10.0 in 2017 to support the digital representation of this unique script. The character enables precise transcription of Gondi phonology, preserving the linguistic heritage of a language traditionally written in other scripts.
