U+16124 "𖄤" Gurung Khema Vowel Sign Ee Unicode Character

U+16124 "𖄤" Gurung Khema Vowel Sign Ee is a combining diacritical mark used in the Gurung Khema script, an alphasyllabary designed for writing the Gurung language of Nepal. This specific vowel sign modifies a consonant character by indicating the vowel sound "ee," which is a close front unrounded vowel similar to the vowel in the English word "see." As part of a writing system created to preserve and modernize the Gurung language, this character represents the script's adaptation of native phonetic needs through a visible sign placed above or attached to its base consonant letter. Unlike independent vowel letters, this combining sign is always used in conjunction with a consonant symbol to form a complete syllabic unit, reflecting the script's abugida style.
