U+11F06 "𑼆" Kawi Letter I Unicode Character

U+11F06 "𑼆" Kawi Letter I is a character in the Kawi script, an ancient abugida historically used to write Old Javanese, Balinese, and other languages of Maritime Southeast Asia from roughly the 8th to the 16th century. This specific character represents the independent vowel sound "i," similar to the "i" in "machine," and is part of a larger block of Kawi letters that were encoded in Unicode 15.0 in 2022 to preserve and digitally represent this important historical writing system. Its inclusion allows scholars, linguists, and digital archivists to accurately render and study ancient manuscripts and inscriptions from the region without relying on modern transliterations.
