U+11F02 "𑼂" Kawi Sign Repha Unicode Character

U+11F02 "𑼂" Kawi Sign Repha is a diacritical mark used in the Kawi script, an historical writing system from Southeast Asia employed primarily for Old Javanese and other languages on the Indonesian archipelago. This sign, known as a repha, represents a preceding syllable-final consonant, specifically an /r/ sound that is typically reduplicated or retained in a specific phonetic context, and it appears as a small superscript hook or curl attached to the base character. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard enables accurate digital representation and preservation of ancient texts, particularly those from the Kawi script's use in inscriptions and manuscripts in regions like Java and Bali.
