U+11F36 "𑼶" Kawi Vowel Sign I Unicode Character

U+11F36 "𑼶" Kawi Vowel Sign I is a combining diacritical mark used in the Kawi script, an ancient writing system historically employed across maritime Southeast Asia for writing Old Javanese, Balinese, Sundanese, and other languages. This specific vowel sign modifies the inherent vowel of a consonant letter to indicate a long "i" sound, often appearing as a small mark attached above or to the left of the base consonant character. It is part of the Kawi block in Unicode, which was added to preserve and digitally encode this historically significant script used in inscriptions and manuscripts from the 8th to the 16th centuries.
